[vtk-developers] glew topic branch

[tom fogal]

Marcus helped me get this on gerrit for review.  Thanks, Marcus!

It's not done, but getting some early feedback would be nice.

Things on my list before I'd consider it mergeable:

  - ldd reports libGL is still linked into some libraries.  Shouldn't
  need that.

  - There was some GL enum I hacked around... GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY
  or something, because it wasn't in GLEW.  Need to see if it's
  implemented now, and implement it if needed.  The builtin GLEW needs
  an upgrade.

  - I want to get VisIt working/tested with the new version, of course.

  - Need to document the API change... where would I do that?

  - Open question: we could stop linking in MesaGL to things as well.
  I think this would be desirable, but haven't implemented it yet.
  Thoughts?

  - Haven't tried running the test suite yet.

Please let me know if there's anything else I should think about for
this branch.

Thanks!
