Quake3 allows a user to selectively enable or disable its *use* of
certain GL extensions.  If this is the behaviour you want, then it's
more an application thing than a driver thing.  Look at some of the Mesa
demos -- you may bind the 't' key to toggle multitexturing, for
example.  Environment variables in the driver are good for driver
development, when the implementation of a certain extension may be buggy
and thus disabled by default for instance.
