I looked into it, and there was, indeed, a problem with the ctypes 
pointer handling.  Basically we were getting pointer-to-pointer (i.e. 
the address of the pointer variable) instead of the pointer's value when 
doing a dataPointer() call on them.  I've fixed that on bzr head, and 
all of your samples now seem to run correctly on bzr head. What's weird 
is that code hadn't changed; it seems that something higher-level meant 
that the code-path just wasn't being executed in the old PyOpenGL releases.

By the way, do you have a tutorial (text) somewhere connected with your 
samples? And would you like the code linked into the PyOpenGL 
documentation samples (i.e. when someone looks at the glXxxxPointer 
functions they'd see a reference to your hg repository?)

I fixed an (unrelated) bug that was preventing the various configuration 
flags (e.g. FULL_LOGGING) from running, and regenerated the 
OpenGL_accelerate wrappers with the new Cython release.

I *think* we're fairly close to a beta-1 release for PyOpenGL 3.1 at 
this point.  I still need to get some time to run the Windows tests and 
re-run the Linux tests with the updated Cython wrappers.

Thanks,
Mike
