Oh, I'm pretty familiar with gathering up libraries and such.. this
system WAS a slackware 3.1 install at some point, back in the day...
but most stuff using the OpenGL libraries doesnt also include
directions with "Go here for drivers", etc.. also, when I looked into
OpenGL, there was a lot of obfuscation about each different piece of
hardware having its own website with drivers, etc ... maybe its
licensing that keeps people from making a package out of it, I
dunno...
