Yup, Gem loads and so does [gemwin]. An ATI from 1998 supports some NVidia extensions that a current ATI does not support, crazy...I don't think that is the case. That ATI part does not support the OpenGL functionality in question at all whether through the NV or ARB extension. No properly functioning ATI driver would have that extension in it.
i am pretty sure that the gfx-card on the autobuild machine does NOT support the nvidia extensions (natively). however, i am also pretty sure, that these machiens are using the mesaGL implementation which (being a software renderer) can provide pretty any extension (it knows about). it would provide the nvidia-extensions (in software, like everything else) even for an old vesa card or whatever.
so configure correctly detects that glDeleteProgramsNV() is supported on the autobuild machine. period.
now, why is it not supported on some machines? probably because of older versions of mesaGL which do not yet support the nvidia-extensions.
