Ok .. so we can have 2 JOGL backends:

a - OpenGL < 2.0
  - supports non shader hardware/driver, if this is possible

b - OpenGL > 2.0, GLES 2.0, etc
  - supports shader only hardware/driver
  - implements everything w/ GL2ES2, hence shader only

how about that ?

Shure, we don't need to drop the OpenGL 1.3 capable backend,
agreed.
