I'm trying to get a better grasp of the resulting set of binaries will look like
on a distro, correct me if I'm wrong, by default we will get one gallium_dri.so
that is linked against shared dri core and glapi correct. And then hardlinks
from say vmwgfx_dri.so to gallium_dri.so?

Also looking at the patch it looks like stdri can still be build without
DRM installed on the system? I remember the Hurd people being
quite vocal about this.

Cheers, Jakob.
