We want the description strings in all available languages to be
compiled into the 3D drivers. All these macros result in a small
XML-document which is looked up via dlopen/dlsym by the configuration
tool (or xdriinfo as a helper for script based tools). This way
information about available options and some human-readable
documentation is always in sync with the drivers actually installed on
the system. For more background on this design see
http://dri.freedesktop.org/~fxkuehl/driconf/dri_config_design_rev4.html.
Further information about DRI configuration issues can be found at
http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ConfigurationInfrastructure.

  Felix
