Yes, I think it's simple to implement and should be done before the 4.0
release.
But one problem is that OSMesa < 9.0 shows a problem if linked with
liboctave so we have to check in the configure script if we have a
problematic version or not. Debian Wheezy for example still ships with
OSMesa 8.5.
The OSMEsa DLLS for Windows can be built with scons within MXE-Octave
but I hadn't time to test it further in Windows yet.
Building on MacOSX seems to be possible (for example
http://www.alecjacobson.com/weblog/?p=2827 via macports) but I don't
have access to that OS.
If it is okay for you and the other devs I would like to add the OSMesa
stuff the next 2 weeks.
