I don't ordinarily read -multimedia, but this seems peripheral to
 -hackers, so I trimmed them.

This would not include a hardware-accelerated Mesa integration
would it?  I use SGIs for scientific computation, and would
really like to be able to recompile some of that software to run
on my personal FreeBSD wksta.  Unaccelerated Mesa is just
inadequate to the task (XIG Matrox Millenium II video, PPro 200).
