hmmm.. the only way I see to make everyone happy (I'm already seeing 
Sergey complaining about the size of the download! ;-) is to make two sets 
of drivers:
  - one with everything included, including debugging info
  - another with stripped binaries and without the libraries that do not 
interfere with the direct rendering (i.e., libGLcore and libGLX)

Do you think this is reasonable?
