- reactivate compatibility profile so that immediate mode drawing can be used on older hardware not supporting persistently mapped buffers.

- reactivate alpha testing per fixed function pipeline
- use the 'modern' way to define clip planes (GL_CLIP_DISTANCE). This is far more portable than the old glClipPlane method and a lot more robust than checking this in the fragment shader.
