I think we can make an 'efficient (though possibly not quite the 1 instruction possible in a static linked linux binary) __thread implimentation. We can possibly do 1 instruction in the 1:1 library but that would leave binary compatibility with the other libraries out the window. I think that it is a pitty that the openGL ABI doesn't carry around a 'context' argument on all calls but it's not going to change and we have to use what is there. Julian
