Use of the GL_ARB_texture_rectangle extension by Java 2D
complicates any third-party libraries that try to interact with
the OGL pipeline via RSL or otherwise (and we've run into driver bugs in
the past related to this extension).
EVALUATION
For now we will disable its use. We will
still make use of the GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension when
available, which is the better choice going forward anyway.
