Thanks, committed.
Though to be honest this was a really horrible quick hack.
I was hoping that most real platforms would at least provide
a symlink in a reasonable location like /usr/lib...
I think this is basically solved in GLESv3 as then you can just
query all functions through EGL I think, but in GLESv2 some genius
decided that you can only query extensions through that API.
I guess your device does not support GLESv3 though?
Or any other great idea that doesn't involve traversing the whole
directory tree (though I admit that might be less horrible than it
sounds).

Reimar
