1.  I think your original renaming scheme is better - it will be more 
apparent to the casual onlooker what is going on.

2.  You need to make sure that if you "pkg_delete -f" and then reinstall 
xorg-server and/or libGL, but all this time nvidia-driver is installed, 
then at the end libglx.so still points to the nvidia drivers.  That is 
why I suggest some script installed by libGL that is responsible for 
properly setting these symlinks, and which is called by libGL, 
xorg-server and the nvidia-drivers.

3.  If we decide it is better to do this using symlinks, then this is 
well within my abilities, and I am prepared to take the lead.
