I have to look at the specs first.
It would probably be very similar to the multitex profile,
only with more texture units.

Yes, but I need some way to make the irregu3 demo not thrash.
After adding the new profiles, linux sometimes seems to kill the
java process before garbage collection finishes.

It seems that the problem is string concatenations like

    for i in range(0,4):
        code += """
        %s %s
        TexCoord %s
        """ % (("Color", "SecondaryColorEXT")[using_secondary_color],
               js(cols[i]), js(texcoords[0][i]))

        for u in range(1,len(texcoords)):
            code += """
            MultiTexCoord TEXTURE%s %s
            """ % (u, js(texcoords[u][i]))

        code += """
        Vertex %s
        """ % js(vertices[i])


If I add that piece of code many times, the thrashing begins
much sooner.

Is there a way to construct the strings more efficiently?
