There is absolutely no reason to keep it separate.  If you look at the
diffs you will see that some refactoring was possible due to this
change.

Just run any of

make drivers
make install-drivers
make drivers/tdfx_vid.o

depending on what you need.  How hard can that be?

And the build system will keep using a monolithic Makefile as long as I
keep maintaining it, that decision is final.
