That would be a shame IMHO.
The present Mesa doesn't have mixed contexts does it? Hence the
outcome of this debate on context dependent/independent addresses
is moot for Mesa 3.1.
Since (IIRC) you said that you already have a glGetProcAddress
of some kind, I'd suggest you call it both glx and glGetProcAddress
and ship it with 3.1.
I for one could make good use of it!
