Time for me to open my big mouth. ;) Be Inc. used and ported Mesa to use for 
the OpenGL Kit. We have the sources to version 2.3. Granted, it's old, but I 
think it's better than starting from scratch. I just never checked them into 
the tree or anything because I couldn't get it to build - not because it 
doesn't work, but because it needed updated to gcc from Metrowerks and I 
wasn't sure what to tweak in the makefiles. We also have a GLUT port with 
source, too. I realize that the OpenGL kit is more than just the libraries, 
but you need to have them, too. Anyone feel like playing with this stuff?
