There is no support for this right now, but it should be possible with
further evolution of the code.  Right now the problem area would be
the creation of graphics context for doing OpenGL texture compression
and mipmapping.

It'd be the mipmapping/texture compression that would need to be disabled.

Use of Mesa might well be a way of getting round this without even
modifying VPB.
