OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
GLEW was developed by Milan Ikits and Marcelo Magallon.
The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform open-source C/C++ extension loading library. GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the target platform. GLEW has been tested on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris.
GLSL Optimizer
A C++ library that takes GLSL shaders, does GPU-independent optimizations on them and outputs GLSL back.
