+Dependencies
+
+ OpenGL 1.0 or later is required
+ This extensions is written against the OpenGL 1.4 Specification.
+
+Overview
+
+ This extension adds a new pixel storage parameter to indicate that
+ images are to be packed in top-to-bottom order instead of OpenGL's
+ conventional bottom-to-top order. Only pixel packing can be
+ inverted (i.e. for glReadPixels, glGetTexImage, glGetConvolutionFilter,
+ etc).
+
+ Almost all known image file formats store images in top-to-bottom
+ order. As it is, OpenGL reads images from the frame buffer in
+ bottom-to-top order. Thus, images usually have to be inverted before
+ writing them to a file with image I/O libraries. This extension
+ allows images to be read such that inverting isn't needed.
+
+IP Status
+
+ None
+
+Issues
+
+ 1. Should we also defined UNPACK_INVERT_MESA for glDrawPixels, etc?
+
+ Resolved: No, we're only concerned with pixel packing. There are other
+ solutions for inverting images when using glDrawPixels (negative Y pixel
+ zoom) or glTexImage (invert the vertex T coordinates). It would be easy
+ enough to define a complementary extension for pixel packing in the
+ future if needed.

+
+ "The parameter PACK_INVERT_MESA controls whether the image is packed
+ in bottom-to-top order (the default) or top-to-bottom order. Equation
+ 3.8 is modified as follows:
+
+ ... the first element of the Nth row is indicated by
+
+ p + Nk, if PACK_INVERT_MESA is false
+ p + k * (H - 1) - Nk, if PACK_INVERT_MESA is true, where H is the
