... Or spend your time and energy on something useful like implementing
GLSL instead.

... And actually it appears Cg has become a meta compiler for HLSL
(DirectX) and GLSL, so Cg is completely useless to us until we have
working GLSL in our open source drivers anyway. (Not to mention we need
working OpenGL period...)
