I think libGL* is the graphics driver, basically (so we can't statically
link to them). the machine I can't get it to build on is an Nvidia one
too, must be something to do with the headers - glClientActiveTexture is
there, it's just not getting defined and I haven't had enough time to
figure out how to fix it yet. 

It might be easier to disable to multitexturing - you can just comment
out all the offending lines, I think it'll still work - without that
feature tho of course :)

cheers,
