[gl2ps] Feedback buffer deprecated?

[Hans Guijt]

As I understand it, OpenGL 3.0 will have a recommended 'fast path' that will 
not include feedback. However, there will also be a compatability path that 
does include all old functionality. The compatability path will probably be 
a little bit slower, but considering the non-realtime nature of GL2PS this 
shouldn't be much of a problem anyway. So I don't believe there is any cause 
for concern.
