Attaching the openarena patch.

Thanks, will try that later.

Will try that first, but maybe not until after the week-end.

I will test it, see above and below. As you might know a lot of packages
build for GNU/Hurd without kernel support yet, like audio packages.

Looks like llvmpipe is supported in mesa for Linux/kFreeBSD i386/amd64.
Not yet for Hurd, I will try it to enable it, llvm is available for
Hurd! And also try with libgl1-mesa-swx11.

Updated patch applied!
