No longer up-to-date

[hendrikboom3]

Functions used even in the introductory examples of the current edition of the openGL red book are not available in thie openGl binding. The binding is not up-to-date with the current openGL 4.6. This is presumably Khronos is no longer providing the old format specfiles, and instead has adopted xml. Handling likely requires a rewrite of the program that reads the specfiles and produces Racket code. I'm looking into doing this unless someone else is really eager or has already started. Is there anything I need to know that I don't?

• I'm a beginner with modern openGL. (I last used it before the shader revolution)
• I'm doing this so I can follow the red book to learn to use the current openGL.
• I am a Linux-only user, and cannot test on Windows. (the only WIndows machine I have access to is an ancient Windows 95 laptop)

I've started writing a replacement for readspec.rkt to handle the new XML file format that Khronos now uses for the specfiles. So far I've produced #defines for the enum values. There's lots more to come.
