Annotation to the "Toolkits to bridge OpenGL and the Window System" section: A Widget set (like Motif or Lesstif in Linux) is not necessarily needed. All that an application needs is Xlib and the GLX extension.
Debuggers and Profilers etc.
Shall we add a section about debuggers and utilities to be used with openGL ?

Broken Link for Fur benchmark

These:
- DDS : The DDS image format is a useful format that Microsoft has developed for Direct3D but that doesn't mean you can't use it in OpenGL programs. DevIL (see a few lines above for the link) supports reading the DDS format. Also, you might want to check nVidia's Developer section for more DDS tools nVidia's Legacy Texture Tools.
- BC7 : The BC7 compression format is a new compression technique. Also called BPTC. If you need to compress a image such as TGA to BC7, here is a tool from nVidia : BC7-export tool. It is a command line tool and it has been reported that compression can take up to 90 minutes for a 1920x1080 image.
