So basically, you would prefer that we:
patch xorg-server so that it installs, e.g.,
${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx-xorg.so.1 instead of
${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1, and points the
symlink ${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx-xorg.so at the
former;
patch libGL so that it installs, e.g., ${PREFIX}/lib/libGL-mesa.so.1
instead of ${PREFIX}/lib/libGL.so.1, and points the symlink
${PREFIX}/lib/libGL.so at the former;
and patch nvidia-driver so that it installs, e.g.,
${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx-nvidia.so.1 instead of
${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1, and
${PREFIX}/lib/libGL-nvidia.so.1 instead of ${PREFIX}/lib/libGL.so.1;
and during installation it overwrites the
${PREFIX}/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx-xorg.so and
${PREFIX}/lib/libGL.so symlinks, redirecting them to the corresponding
nvidia libraries; while during deinstallation it changes them to point
to the mesa/xorg libraries?
And corresponding redirection to handle the libtool archive file?
