having a hard time not feeding the troll here...but what specifically is 
garbage.  as in, what implementation of all this work do you have 
available that has been developed independently which also enables 
support for modern desktop and portable systems that you can buy today?

speaking as someone who's been working on this from pretty much the day 
of the initial CFT (maybe before?) - i don't know anyone who's getting 
paid for this specific work.  at least when it comes to GPU support.  
but, if you have the means, I'd love to work on this full time and am 
open to any serious offers :)
