About GL_NV_vertex_program: 1) It was the first nice vertex program interface and is used in many old tutorials on vertex shading. 2) Currently Mesa layers GL_ARB_vertex_program on top of GL_NV_vertex_program. A driver that already advertizes GL_ARB_vertex_program can support GL_NV_vertex_program for free. 3) It is a widespread extension, not a Nvidia-specific one: It is implemented by the i915 driver, the mga driver, the tdfx driver, the r300 driver, the non-free 3Dlabs drivers and of course all the Nvidia drivers. 4) I added an option to deactivate it.
