I actually meant GLX. Oops.

I agree technically that works, but that doesn't get it widely
distributed and if people don't know it exists they won't use it. I'm
trying to get it included in some standard library (maybe as extension)
so that people have it and use it instead of inverting their own. If you
really dislike attaching it to GLX maybe we need a our own libMesaU (or
equivalent) that can include stuff like this.
