So what's this difference between the possibilities of Tuomas's design and
Java binding libraries? I would say in blind that we build a string or an
array of calls to make and send them as a parameter in one JNI call. I
don't see this kind of interpretAndDraw to be too specific to not go in an
OpenGL library even if it's too high-level to not work for every
application and if it's too distanced from the OpenGL API to be called a
wrapper.
