If I can chime in here, FBOs and the multiple draw buffers extension 
would be a very nice thing to have. They are essentially "core 
functionality" of opengl in terms of the way opengl code is used these 
days, even though they are not technically part of the OpenGL core until 
  3.1.

A simple binding to FBOs for render-to-texture would be a lovely thing 
to have.
