It was only done in the packages where it was needed - it should
be trivial to add to any others where it's needed, just do a
mv prototype prototype_com and add it to the list in make_release_packages.

The Mesa prototype you have was created assuming Mesa was only needed on x86
since Solaris already had OpenGL on SPARC. Obviously, that was a couple
years before anyone thought of fully-open-X or Indiana, and no one has gone
back in to fix them.

I'd have to ask the original engineer, but I assume "SPARC" was a
reference to the Solaris OpenGL for SPARC.
