jogamp applet security ..

Hi All,

due to the latest news about WebGL security and Chrome's native 'applet's'
in general:
   - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/11/chrome_firefox_security_threat/
   - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/09/google_chrome_pwned/

I can give a relaxed statement about jogl here, i.e. that we don't
rely on the robustness ARB extension, but track VBO/FBO memory usage
and validate it's usage / range.

Sure, we may also enable the robustness extension in the future as an additional
security measure, but still would not remove our own independent layer.

FYI ..

Cheers, Sven
