By request, I hacked up a little script that uses cgc (part of the NVIDIA Cg Toolkit) to transpile a Cg shader to GLSL.
It remaps inputs from Cg-style to GLSL-style. Not all inputs are converted correctly (eg. fog and material inputs aren’t converted at present), but most shaders I tried work fine. If you find one that doesn’t, let me know.

There’s some oddity with the way cgc converts matrices to GLSL. Instead of creating mat4 inputs, it does this:
vec4 _mat_modelproj1[4];Simply changing it to a mat4 isn’t enough, since the ordering is different. So I just checked in a fix to Panda’s GLSL back-end so that it can support passing matrices as an array of vectors this way (only for Cg-style inputs, not for p3d_ inputs). This means that in order to use the transpiled shaders, you need a very recent build of Panda.
