Would it be better if I rename i965g to igen (Intel GEN)?  The driver does
not support 965 anyway.

It will be enabled with --with-gallium-drivers=igen, and the DRI driver
will be named igen_dri.so.  Those wanting to give it a try must manually
rename it to i965_dri.so.  Or even better, I can add LIBGL_FORCE_DRIVER to
GLX so that a driver name can be specified.
