<BLOCKQUOTE>
This is the base class for effect techniques. A technique represents one
of the possible ways to implement a special effect. This base class is
abstract, you will have to subclass your own techniques for your custom
effects.
Derived classes will have to implement the define_passes() method to
configure the rendering pass(es) that make up the technique. Usually
you will create one StateSet object for each rendering pass and then
you'll call addPass(stateset).
The validate() method should return true if the technique is valid within
the current rendering context, false otherwise. The default implementation
of validate() calls getRequiredExtensions() and tests whether all required
extensions are supported or not, returning false if at least one extension
is not supported.</BLOCKQUOTE>

You should call this version of addPass() only when you need to gain direct
control over the pass node (i.e. for setting up a cull callback); otherwise
please use addPass(StateSet*) and let the class create the pass node for you.
