Along that vein, requiring any of XFree86-devel or xorg-x11-devel is
broken, only requiring a hypothetical "X11-devel" wouldn't -- both
former are vendor specific. Since this package is only in Extras from
FC4 on I frankly don't care if it doesn't work with
${random_old_release_with_XFree86}. If there are other GL (proprietary)
implementations, they can be made to work with our scheme here (see
livna RPMs of the nvidia driver). If they don't it's tough luck but
nothing I consider accommodating for.
