/*
The nVidia occlusion query extension is defined in glext.h so you don't 
need anything else. You do need to look up the function, we provide a 
GLSupport class to do this, which has platform implementations for 
getProcAddress. Check the way that extensions like glActiveTextureARB are 
initialised and used in glRenderSystem and copy what is done there.



  To do: fix so dx7 and DX9 checks and flags if HW Occlusion is supported
  See the openGl dito for ideas what to do.
