Oh, I see.  Yeah, you're right about that.

Well, there's a small problem with that.  libGLU in XFree86 has
enhancements which allow it to be driven by XFree86's hardware
acceleration.  So by some measure of appropriateness it does
"belong" there.  Too bad nobody in the FreeBSD project appears
directly involved in the development of XFree86 that could give
us the answers.

I'm sorry that you believe it is the wrong solution, and that I
"rushed it in".  Feel free to implement the right solution,
including any backing out of any sort.
