1. I think your original renaming scheme is better - it will be more
apparent to the casual onlooker what is going on.
2. You need to make sure that if you "pkg_delete -f" and then reinstall
xorg-server and/or libGL, but all this time nvidia-driver is installed,
then at the end libglx.so still points to the nvidia drivers. That is
why I suggest some script installed by libGL that is responsible for
properly setting these symlinks, and which is called by libGL,
xorg-server and the nvidia-drivers.
3. If we decide it is better to do this using symlinks, then this is
well within my abilities, and I am prepared to take the lead.
