opengl-glew provides bindings to OpenGL’s core profile while handling extension 
loading with GLEW:

There are two existing eggs that have some degree of overlap with this one. The 
opengl egg provides only the older fixed function pipeline API. OpenGL has 
changed the majority of its API since then, so it’s not useful for writing 
modern graphics programs. The allegro egg provides some more recent OpenGL 
bindings (they seem to have been last updated in 2012), but relies on Allegro 
which not everyone wants as a dependency.

opengl-glew uses the widely used GLEW to handle its extension loading, making 
this egg immediately useful to most programmers who work with modern OpenGL. 
Further, it is guaranteed to always be up-to-date with the latest OpenGL core 
profile, because it downloads the glcorearb header file from opengl.org and 
uses it to generate its bindings. Some high-level convenience functions are 
also provided.

Mario, could you please add this to the egg list:

Thanks!
