I still don't understand why there're driver families with their own winsys.? How're non-*nix platforms, that have to provide their own winsys, supposed to be able to use these drivers that have their own winsys???

The winsys layer is still a bit on the hacky side IMO. Right now there's
drm-based winsys, and for various reasons all of them are still split
into card-specific interfaces.

But the other winsys layers are all pretty generic. xlib, egl_xlib,
g3dvl, gdi...

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of API issues to be worked out. I
really wish I could help more, sorry.
