Yes, I think you get the idea.
I'm actually mostly interested in doing gl2ps on my own apps for which
I have source code.
Using GLIntercept seems like a good way to avoid this kind of ugly:
     glPointSize(1.);
     gl2psPointSize(1.);
where you have to duplicate your GL calls to let glps know about the
current state.

On Linux there is BuGLe http://www.opengl.org/sdk/tools/BuGLe/,
I haven't looked into it though.  I don't think it supports plugins
like GLIntercept.
