Currently, I suggest plain mesag3-dev, though the OpenGL QuakeWorld must
be linked against glide2x in order to work (yes, even the GLX version --
it uses a few functions in glide2x. I'll probably have them excised
within the hour). Also, I am testing the DGA support that I'll be
backporting from the WinQuake source (Has _anyone_ gotten keyboard input
working in fullscreen DGA?). Email me for patches.

People who know enough to be using Utah GLX already know how to get
programs compiled with Mesa to work, so right now it's a non-issue. ASAP,
the Mesa source package should start to build libgl/libglu/ with the
traditional libMesaGL* symlinks until everything gets recompiled.
Also, is mesag3 going to be upgraded to MesaLib 3.1 soon?
