Hello Jose

"Missing" - pretty much all is done and on the mailing lists, in summary:
 * Waffle WGL, uncommitted - some patches are awaiting review (see the list below)
 * piglit WGL, uncommitted - might need updates depending on waffle's API/ABI
changes.
 * Waffle WGL + piglit WGL integration - Windows + FindWaffle sucks. Working
workaround (uncommitted) is in piglit's README.

Check out [0] for more information and (waffle) binary tarballs.



Have some wild plans for piglit, if anyone is interested:
 * Windows input handling (copy/paste from glut), needs minor waffle update.
Ideally I'll get this in time for waffle 2.0 :)
 * piglit + waffle CGL - initial dump and input handling should be trivial,
needs minor waffle update. PENDING until I have access to MacOS device :)
 * GLUT, kill it with fire - estimated -200loc from the piglitutil. Thousands
more from the build (piglit core + tests). DEPENDS on CGL :'(
