Thanks, Gaetan.
Actually, the legacy code is most of the code. The current driver code
is just a loader that loads either vmwlegacy_drv.so which is built with
vmware_drv.so, or vmwgfx_drv.so which is built as part of the mesa
distro, depending on wether it's possible to kick vmwgfx_drv.so off.
I've nothing against vmware_drv.so and vmwgfx_drv.so being built in
separate directories, though the current situation where they don't
share the same version number is not optimal. They will probably share
at least a version header in the future.
