i am pretty sure that the gfx-card on the autobuild machine does NOT
support the nvidia extensions (natively).
however, i am also pretty sure, that these machiens are using the mesaGL
implementation which (being a software renderer) can provide pretty any
extension (it knows about).
it would provide the nvidia-extensions (in software, like everything
else) even for an old vesa card or whatever.

so configure correctly detects that glDeleteProgramsNV() is supported on
the autobuild machine. period.

now, why is it not supported on some machines? probably because of older
versions of mesaGL which do not yet support the nvidia-extensions.
