Ok. Now I think I understand...
The libGL.so.1 is symlinked to the driver itself. That means that the OpenGL
apps have a direct access to the driver and you don't have to worry about the
3D acceleration.

But the devel libraries...
The libGL.so is symlinked to a MESA GL 1.2 library placed in nvidia/ subrir.
Why the heck to GL 1.2??
Does it mean that when I use the nvidia-glx-dev and I want to compile some
OpenGL app that uses functions from OGL > 1.2, I have to load the functions
myself? ("The Windows Way" :[ )
