Yes.

Yes.

There is a plan, of sorts.  Even after the drivers build completely 
within the Mesa tree, the stuff under lib/GL/mesa won't be able to 
completely go away.  It is still needed to build the server-side 
libGLcore.a.

All of the server-side "stuff" and the client-side glue (i.e., libGL.so) 
will stay in DRI CVS.  Basically, the only stuff that's going to move 
out of DRI CVS is the stuff that isn't tied to / dependent on X.

I'm not sure who the right person is to do that...
