Right, I was assuming that ES would also have a .spec file. That
doesn't seem to be the case.

The set of egl* functions seems small enough to take this route. I'd
probably even skip the .h parsing step.

The remaining questions are: do we want a cl-opengl-es-1.1 system that
only loads the relevant bits? (As opposed to defining the egl* bits
then loading all of the remaining cl-opengl.) If so, what would be the
best way to do it?

One solution would be to list the ES's gl* functions somewhere in our
spec directory and have the spec parser output those definitions to a
separate directory/system, let's call it cl-opengl-base. Both
cl-opengl and and cl-opengl-es-1.1 would then depend on
cl-opengl-base.

Simon, does this look like a sane approach?
