[Mesa-dev] what happened to libgallium.so ?

[Jose Fonseca]

libgallium.so was an awful idea.

Just a few days ago we had an internal bug report because libgallium.so 
symbols were clashing with the application symbols.

This is because all that libgallium.so export all gallium symbols, even 
though they have no unique prefix -- it uses common symbols like util_* 
or os_* which can easily be used by the app internally...

Awful idea.
