That seems like a very interesting approach, despite still being
OS-specific.
Looking at Apple's samples
(http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/MultiGPUIOSurface/Listings/ServerOpenGLView_m.html)
it looks like it shouldn't be that hard to plug it into the existing
OpenGL backend mechanism.
Unfortunately I have only a PowerPC Mac, so I won't be able to work on
this myself since it requires 10.6.
