[erlang-questions] wxErlang gl and glu modules conflict with esdl

[Dan Gudmundsson]

I did think about it, I've written both the libraries, but decided to ignore it, esdl it 
mostly (only?) used by wings and don't work in smp emulator, so I thought the future would
belong to wxErlang which will be included with Erlang/OTP instead.
Also the code is better in the wxErlang and covers later revisions, what would be best 
would an identical api that would discover which backend to run.

You can easily run erl -pa /PATH/TO/ESDL/ -s wings start for wings.

I also had name problems, gl2 wx_gl :-)
