Absolutely :) If I get some spare time I'll try to see how it could be done
(ah, time...).

Right, I believe the WhatModulesVTK.py has some of the intelligence needed
to sort this out, and also some flag to let the user specify explicitly
what backend he/she intends to use. A doc generation tool would have to
present both GL and GL2 as alternatives.
