GATOS needs to merge to the latest DRI CVS.  Lots of things have changed,
and patching DRI with GATOS doesn't work right now, unless you merge the
patch in by hand.  Specifically, GATOS currently reverts the DRI tree to
version 3, when it should be version 2, and reverts a bunch of radeon
texture fixes.  Also it breaks the sarea merge.

IMHO GATOS should maintain a patch against the DRI head, instead of the
current convoluted distribution.  I guess most people use the binaries,
though.
