I suggest not following this path. this just makes things that
much more complicated for apps and layer libraries if they
have to keep second guessing each other. the glx specification
specifies how threading works -- other companies have had successful
implementations for 5+ years, and I see no reason to break
compatibility by introducing even more convoluted threading api.
