We talked about this a bit on the meeting. I'm going to split the snapshots into a device-dependent (frequent updates) and a device-independent (less frequent updates) part. This way we can ship libGLcore and libglx without bloating the daily snapshots too much. The install script of the device-independent part will be more or less what Ajax described. Of course the OpenGL switcher related part would be a welcome addition to the device dependent install script.
