Speaking of which, how can I make use of the NVidia OpenGL binary library
(libGL.so.1 and libGLcore.so.1) from pkgsrc? AFAIK, it is a Mesa 3.4.2
replacement, thus it might be a bit behind in terms of API, but right now
the OpenGL packages I use (glTron and tuxracer) don't link to it without
some dirty hack (make buildlink and symlink replacement by hand in
${BUILDLINK_DIR}).
I know that right now it's be almost only for me who dare run that thing,
but in case I can get OpenGL stable...
