I don't think we need to do this as all other projects using GL seem to
manage with being compiled against normal Mesa libGL* and then run
against nVidia's libGL*. From what I've seen the symbols used aren't in
the applications' code but get automatically linked when compiling
against nVidia's libGL*. There's simply no need to limit 3D to owners of
nVidia cards if all the game producers get by without resorting to that.
