The downside is that that process means that we'll inevitably keep stale
or divergent copies in Mesa, when the canonical location for GL specs is
Khronos.  We do have a reasonable process for modifying Khronos's specs
now, which we didn't before.

I think we should get all our specs out and into the Khronos.
