Good stuff, but which GLES version are you porting to? 

Also, I'd like to bring to your attention a very neat little wrapper
that tries to wrap most used GL2 functions to GLES2:

http://code.google.com/p/gl-wes-v2/

I actually have got glgears working using this, although it's buggy
(can't get lighting to quite work) it makes porting GL2 to GLES2 pretty
simple.

Also, most the matrix operations in this wrapper could benefit greatly
from SIMD and become even faster.

Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
