Hmmm... please submit this as a bug, there's a -lOSMesa missing. I'm
going to fix the makefiles, so I'm going to stumble across this,
probably.

Branden doesn't maintain mesademos.

Oh, is it? For me the demos are more valuable as source code, since
only a fraction of them are interesting from a end-user's point of
view.

The demos themselves are not tied to the Direct Rendering
Infrastructure. They are OpenGL demos, and only a handful are specific
to Mesa. All of them run with software rendering, now that the
glide-specific demos are no longer being shipped.

You mean tarred. Like I said, IMO in this case source is more
important than binaries. I considered shipping everything as single
files, in ../mesademos/examples/ or something like that, but then I
would have to compress the individual files (c.f. Policy), which is no
better than having to unpack the tarred sources.

d-n-c? You lost me. Oh, does-not-compile. I hope you don't mean that
as in 'serious' because it will be automatically downgraded to normal
once I get it.
mesademos, on both accounts.
