Hi Tim, I have no objections against getting this merged, although here are a couple of things that should be sorted. Some of these are just reiteration from others: - First and foremost - please base your work against master. Mesa, alike most other open-source projects, tries to keep features

Hi. I'd like to introduce the Mesa3D community to a software project that we hope to upstream. We're a small team at Intel working on software defined visualization (http://sdvis.org/), and have opensource projects in both the raytracing (Embree, OSPRay) and rasterization (OpenSWR) realms.
