Well then I'll try to know what the DR can do exactly in order to make a 
reasonable timeline. Who could know that?

I was thinking about it too. In my engine I tried to support both Cg and GLSL 
but since such a feature wasn't the main purpose of my engine I gave up when I 
encoutered the first issue: Cg distinguishes vertex and pixel shaders (like DX 
afaik) and allow to switch only one of them whilst GLSL requires them to be 
bound together into one "program". I actually never tried to find out how much 
expensive is the glLinkProgram() function, or how often it is needed to switch 
only one shader, maybe it is negligible. Also since I'm not familiar with CS I 
don't know how much time it would take to add support for GLSL shaders.
