Apologies for not knowing the ins and outs of libgl-dev, but --
is there any revision specification for libgl-dev, that indicates
"is compliant with 'this' particular revision of the OpenGL spec" ?
Also, there is the side issue that there are a lot of "broken"
OpenGL programs out there. utah-glx does not provide all possible
extensions. However, properly written OpenGL programs are SUPPOSED to
query for existence of an extension, and work around it if not present.
Unfortunately, a lot of linux OpenGL progs dont do that, it seems.
Strictly speaking, utah-glx DOES provide an opengl development environment.
If you want "provides libgl-dev" to have more meaning than that, then
please specify that somehow.
