Would someone please explain what the expected level of code compatibility is
between a Windoze ICD implementation and a Linux OGL driver is? I'm getting the
idea folks are expecting their ICD code to drop into a Linux environment with
only the most minor modifications, is that the case? Is that a major goal?
Aren't there a few legal issues with providing a knock-off of the ICD
environment under any non-MS OS (i.e. MS has specfically precluded any transfer
of technology)?

I guess my going in assumption was that things like dispatch would be OS
specfic.
