Well, it's certainly been expected for a long time.  The main significance
is that the specificiation of the OpenGL shader language (GLSL) is now
firm.  I believe that the latest drivers from nVidia and ATI both support
GLSL under Linux.

Getting good shader support into (at least) SSG is starting to be very
important.

We should spend some time discussing how to do that.
