It's a work in progress:

* there's some patches to the port - hopefully it gets set to build
the optimus support as a default option so the binary packages support
it;
* the process for enabling/disabling it is clunky;
* having kernel awareness of this arrangement so it can be
disabled/enabled without having to unload the driver and fumble with
pci space config registers would be nice.

I don't have any Optimus hardware at the moment (but donations are
appreciated! :-) so I'd appreciate feedback from Optimus users.

Thanks!
