Ah, yes. I re-read this; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLFW

And indeed "The current release of GLFW supports OpenGL 3.0 and
higher." needn't imply a lack of support for older versions. I'm also
not going to be too harsh on myself for reading it in that way ;-).

Yes, I agree. It's not so clear to me why this library would also
include those parts but but those are indeed parts that we could use
and being lazy is a programmer's virtue. I'd personally be quite
happy with joystick support; it's one of the things I have been
lusting after.

Doesn't sound like a half bad idea then. I wonder how Dave and Gabor
feel about it.
