	It worked the last time I checked.  Mesa's CVS has been FUBARed 
along with the rest of openprojects.net for the last few weeks though, so 
I have not built it recently.

	Not sure what you mean here - KGI 1.0 (0.9?) doesn't really have a
"3D accel framework" per se.  It has configurable command FIFOs, if that is
what you mean.  GGIMesa's KGI target is being designed to handle command
FIFOs generically, regardless of whether the FIFO back-end is ioctls,
ping-pong buffers, direct access to a hardware FIFO, KGI 0.9 FIFOs, etc.

P.S. It turns out that my legal worries about Uwe's code in GGIMesa may 
have been unfounded - it is all LGPL, so as long as ggimesa.c and 
ggiglut.c are compiled into seaparate .o files and only linked to the 
rest of Mesa and GLUT respectively, it should all be OK right?  I hope so 
- I'd really like to see you be able to update the .debs....
