As far as I can tell the FreeBSDDesktop team did this to minimize differences between Linux and FreeBSD gpu sources. Maybe these directories should be put elsewhere and just the makefiles modified to resolve the differences? Or have the source consist of the files with unmodified Linux paths along side a patch file correcting the differences, similarly to ports? Given that most technical issues are out of the way and that there is a high user demand for this support, it seems to be time for the developers to revisit this issue. Theron
