[mapserver-dev] OpenGL Contribution

[Tamas Szekeres]

I think this is a neat idea to have the drawing be hardware accelerated. I'm
curious to see the results of this effort.
I've already been thinking about a DirectX implementation, however this may
more likely be more platform neutral.
+1 to create a branch for the implementation.

Best regards,

Tamas
