I know it's not entirely in-topic , but I want to ask a pretty much yes 
or no question . Can I (like in OpenGL) setup the viewport,modelview and 
projection in a few lines and then start drawing ? The shortest example 
that I saw for ES 2.0 was like 3 pages , and I really hope not to have 
to fully rewrite my ~200 lines into some entirely new system.
