As far as I can tell it seams that they've pretty much only done work on
the egl specific code which I haven't worked on so that's going to be
really easy to merge. Other than simple updates for tracking the changes
I've made to glitz most of the code that have gone into CVS recently is
just code from one of my old snapshots that I put in public_html on
freedesktop.org a long time ago.

If there's something else than the egl specific code in the CVS tree
that's working better than my latest code, then I'm all for doing the
work to get that merged but my understanding is that this isn't the
case. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've had scripts and even a separate wrapper program for this before but
I've found it most convenient to just have this in the libxglx module.
It sets up authentication between Xorg server and Xgl server
appropriately and a few other things...
