I considered this project myself when I got my Palm Pilot.
However, as I understand it, the system is limited to 32KB code
and data segments. Mesa's code is much larger and often
allocates buffers larger than 32KB.
It may be pretty hard to squeeze Mesa into the Palm. Also, I really
don't want to see the Mesa code littered with Palm-specific work-
arounds.
Keep us posted on your progress.
