 I'm sure everyone appreciates your work (I do), but using unreleased
 tools kinda makes it difficult for people to actually *test* stuff.  I
 was trying to build Mesa 3.4 with some of the bells and whistles (GGI,
 glide2, glide3) and found out it won't build.  Among the problems, I
 found some of the Makefile.am are wrong.  I pulled new Makefile.am's
 and configure.in from CVS to see if the problems had been dealt with
 already, just to find out that that I needed to hunt for some special
 version of automake and libtool.

 Since one of the new features you have used is something I have wished
 for myself, I can understand why using it is desirable, but...

 (I'll send a patch for Mesa 3.4 sometime this week, I still need to
 figure out the glide2 problems first)
