Just a little notice: AFAIK display lists are deprecated (and possibly
unavailable!) from OpenGL 3.1 and later. Are there significant platforms
out there which don't support VBO and still needs display lists?

Alternatively: are we sure that everyone is still implementing display
lists?

/me hates when they deprecate functions *and* remove them too:((
