wm4 1e56e68701 gl_common: properly reject old OpenGL versions
The extension checking logic was broken, which reported OpenGL 3 if the
OpenGL .so exported OpenGL 3-only symbols, even if the reported OpenGL
version is below 3.0. Fix it and simplify the code a bit. Also never
fail hard if required functions are not found. The caller should check
the capability flags instead. Give up on the idea that we should print
a warning if essential functions are not found (makes loading of ancient
legacy-only extensions easier).

This was experienced with the following version strings:

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 915GM x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 Mesa 9.0.1

(Possibly reports a very old version because it has no GLSL support,
and thus isn't even GL 2.0 compliant.)

README

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.

Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
 - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
 - libGL (OpenGL output)
 - libXv (XVideo output)
general:
 - libasound   (ALSA audio output)
 - various general X development libraries
 - libfreetype (for libass)
 - libfontconfig (for libass)
 - libass
 - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
