Thanks, Gaetan.

Actually, the legacy code is most of the code. The current driver code 
is just a loader that loads either vmwlegacy_drv.so which is built with 
vmware_drv.so, or vmwgfx_drv.so which is built as part of the mesa 
distro, depending on wether it's possible to kick vmwgfx_drv.so off.

I've nothing against vmware_drv.so and vmwgfx_drv.so being built in 
separate directories, though the current situation where they don't 
share the same version number is not optimal. They will probably share 
at least a version header in the future.
