The main reason I'd like to merge your current tree back into kdrive
tree is for two reasons
1) we've got too many trees already,
2) merging into trees gives us a better idea when changes bust
something badly, I've already re-written the configure.ac to still
allow kdrive to be useful...

I'm quite willing to import this code drop into the kdrive CVS, the
biggest blocker into getting it working in Xorg CVS will be the GLX
changes, I'm not sure how these are going to impact the Xorg server
and I get a feeling we will need to do put some thought into the best
way to get this working across the supported platforms....

I'll handle the merging back over the next few evenings if everyone
agrees, the biggest thing that we can do is try to avoid any more code
drops from this one, and try to get patches since this baseline for
future submissions, doing tree diffs between CVS and these trees is
quite messy (parallel changes in kdrive fb code...)
