I coded a prototype of this shared library and it's already working in a 
test-environment.
I updated the library description at 
http://people.gephex.org/~coma/glutil (it's still just a prototype).
I relealised there's far more functions that don't need to be wrapped 
than I originally thought...that can only be good :)
As always this is subject to improvement suggestions.

A last question: The texture class is a really convenient way of 
handling textures...are we going to make this a type or just the texture 
id  (i personally like having the code grouped). It would not interfere 
with people who prefer to do everything "purely gl" since you can just 
query the texture id and work with that ignoring filtering or wrapping 
states set to this class. Default settings of rendertexture could make 
sure though that everything is properly linear filtered when being 
rendered (unless specifically turned off)....what do you say?
