Thanks to all for the refresher.  Off-list someone raised another issue 
to me that seems like a deal breaker.  If an application links with a 
libGL that uses libglapi it appears that the application gets implicitly 
linked with libglapi (as shown by objdump -x | grep -i need).  This will 
cause the application to fail if a non-glapi libGL (i.e., any of the 
closed-source drivers) is later installed.  The problem seems to be that 
symbols like glBegin are in libglapi.

Is this fixable?
