Very nice.
I guess this project could solve the sRGB/gamma correction issue that 
was discussed here at length a while ago.

Unfortunately GLyphy doesn't work on my RS780 Radeon:
...
EE r600_shader.c:131 r600_pipe_shader_create - translation from TGSI failed !
EE r600_state_common.c:749 r600_shader_select - Failed to build shader variant 
(type=1) -1

and when I compile mesa to use the new r600-llvm-backend it crashes.
