Quite a bit of work stands between where we are now and being able to run Xgl 
standalone.  The goal is to do this work in a vendor-neutral manner so that 
people will be able to run Xgl standalone no matter what their driver or 
video card.  In particular DRI is not going to be a requirement here; it 
would be extremely foolish to require DRI, since at least two vendors have 
non-DRI GL stacks.
