  Really?  Hmm... I'll have to look into that.  I thought Mesa would.
I know that the OpenGL library is distributed as a standard .lib file
(which DJGPP can't use (grr...)), but I'm surprised that Mesa wouldn't
support hardware acceleration in dos.
  Is there any way to hack around DJGPP using a different linker to
get it to use the .lib files?  
  And there is a free win32 compiler that someone posted a link to
recently.
