And I'll buy a $BEVERAGE_OF_CHOICE for anyone who makes the dang thing
sexy and less slow in 2.19.0. This is 2007; if our about box doesn't
optionally utilize GL, surely we've failed. :)

Bonus points for making it take less than, ya know, about a million
hours to go through the whole list :)

[And a full case of $BEVERAGE_OF_CHOICE to whoever goes through the
list of top bugsquad contributors and makes sure they are all in there
for 2.18.0. Unsung heroes and all that.]
