OK, I understand. As for Fedora Core packages, I've been building some (Red
Hat Linux and Yellow Dog Linux) for quite a while now, available on
http://freshrpms.net/ along with gxmame.

The "merging" of multiple display drivers in a single target is a real
blessing package-wise, many thanks for that ;-) But for installing a
package with OpenGL support, while not having OpenGL installed... well,
this has always been possible if what you mean is "not having hardware
OpenGL acceleration available" as the OpenGL libraries (Mesa, freeglut) are
shipped with all recent rpm-based distributions I can think of, including
Fedora Core.

If anyone's interested, I've built a CVS snapshot which includes only the
x11 target, but with XV, OpenGL and Glide3 support built in. It works great
for me :

BTW, will the SDL target also get "merged", or is it too different in many
aspects to make that possible?
