GL4bcImpl is the GL implementation class for all non-ES GL interfaces,
so you need it. This was a decision to save a lot of space, since it
is the containing set of all GL features. Only on mobile we have a GLES2Impl,
which is much smaller.

BTW .. saving space/performance for Applets is not that straightfwd as
you might think. Most important:
  - the least JAR/JNLP files as possible (-> use the *all* packages)
  - compression: provide pack200

However, if you or others find another very useful combination of
packages and reduce a fundamental portion of size, I am listening.
