7 Yep, there's a way to build it so that it uses libGL rather than trying
8 to use libMesaGL or something silly like that -- in fact, there are
9 binaries on their site that do exactly that already, and our ebuild also
10 does it.

12 The only thing you need to do on Gentoo to use a different libGL is
13 switch your OpenGL implementation using opengl-update.
