Also, the OpenGL++ spec presumably belongs to the OpenGL ARB and not to SGI,
so I presume we'd have to talk to the ARB to get a copy of it.

I have a copy of the spec - but it's under NDA from SGI - so I can't use that
as the basis of a 'Mesa++' effort. Following Kurt's announcement, there should
be no problem getting hold of the current spec without NDA - I presume.
