 Description:

-Well, guess what... this is the DOS port of Mesa 6.3, for DJGPP fans... Whoa!
-The driver has its origins in ddsample.c, written by Brian Paul and found by me
-in Mesa 3.4.2.
+Well, guess what... this is the DOS port of Mesa 6.5, for DJGPP fans... Whoa!
+The driver uses OSMesa to draw off screen, and then blits the buffer.  This is
+not terribly efficient, and has some drawbacks, but saves maintenance costs.
