  1) OpenGL Extensions Management:

        aGL_Extensions.cpp
        aGL_Extensions.h

        aGLExt_module_name.cpp
        aGLExt_module_name.h

	At this point, only a few extensions are included: 
	
          *  1.3 - GL_ARB_multitexture		
	  *  1.5 - GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
	    
	    OpenGL Shading Language:
	  *  ... - GL_ARB_shader_object
	  *  ... - GL_ARB_vertex_shader
	  *  ... - GL_ARB_fragment_shader

  2) OpenGL Shading Language C++ Framework

        aGLSL.h     -> includes aGL_Extensions.h -> includes {aGLExt_module_name.h}
	aGLSL.cpp   -> includes aGL_Extensions.cpp -> includes {aGLExt_module_name.cpp}

  

  3) OpenGL SimpleTutorialTookit (STT)
        Source code to simplify developing test applications for Shaders. 
        OpenGL SimpleTutorialToolkit contains common source for quick
	OpenGL development.
        It is not recommended to use this toolkit for commercial applications.
