Has anyone contacted nVidia to see if they'd be willing to export the
relevant GLX symbols (glXGetProcAddress in particular, but possibly
others as well) from their libGL?  It seems like the least painful
solution, especially since it can potentially lower the amount of
support issues regarding 6.9 that they have to deal with.
