1505 Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL

3D renderer on Linux.
1508 The donation will go to Keith Whitwell, who has been optimizing Mesa to
1509 improve performance on
3d hardware. Thanks to Keith's work, many
1510 applications using Mesa
3.1 will see a dramatic performance increase
1511 over Mesa
