+This sample shows how to use OpenGL in your application using the
+high-level iPhoneOSGameView base class (this class derives from
+UIView) and simplifies a lot of the code to set up the GL context.
+
+Contrast this with the lower-level version available in OpenGLESSample
+that derives directly from UIView and has to create and destroy the
+rendering buffer manually.
