I've mostly forward ported the old gallium double code, and have
written most of ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 on top,

Though the question I did want to ask Tom is if he is just going to
expose hw that has doubles, or does
he plan on emulating doubles.

For a lot of GLSL4.0 GPUs from AMD fglrx emulates doubles using
massive magic shaders, I'm unsure
if we should have a lowering pass above/below the TGSI line for these
types of situations and what that
would mean for this CAP.

Dave.
