I saw the blog post already and had a quick look at libepoxy. However I
have not had the time yet to evaluate how good the library fits into
Libreoffice and if it works well together with vcl.

Most of the problems mentioned for glew are not at all a problem in our
case. As mentioned it will take some time to see if libepoxy is better as
glew or not. I'll keep it on my list for the future.
