Second this. Please, don't drop indirect GLX. It's better to make it a
loadable module as Keith suggested. I'm aware of the tactics that was
mentioned many times by Keith: (i) drop some feature; (ii) wait for some
time until someone says, "Hey, where's that feature that I was using for
a long time?". "Sorry, but it's too late. Where were you all of these
three years?"  :)
