Re: "Now, I'm wondering if the putative Full-Frame DSLR is even going to have
the drive thingy to focus my legacy AF lenses?"

Given that there are several shaft-drive lenses in production, the full-framer 
will have both focusing systems.

However, there are two things to consider. Firstly, all new lenses are coming 
out with in-lens motors. Secondly, there is a report (from asahiman, IIRC) that 
all old lenses will be redesigned with new coatings, water resistance, and 
in-lens motors. When this process is complete, the days of the shaft drive will 
be numbered. No doubt Pentax already has this in their plans.
