[plt-scheme] sgl meets the OpenGL spec?

SGL provides all of the OpenGL 1.3 functions in one way or another.

First a little background from the documentation:

sgl takes a two layered approach.  The gl and gl-unsafe libraries
provide access to the C-language style GL API.  The sgl library provides
access to the GL API through a more Scheme-like interface, that should
be more convenient to use than the C-style bindings.


The general Get functions currently reside in the gl-unsafe module.  
This means you can call the functions, but if called incorrectly, the 
program could become corrupted or crash.  There is no technical reason 
why the Get functions have to be in unsafe.  I just ran out of time to 
implement the (rather elaborate) safety checks needed to move them into 
safe and from there into the Scheme interface.
