We're getting closer -- it actually built.  There's a mistake in
one of the makefiles that made it not use the OpenGL calls.  In
src/bin/geomview/x11/O.x11/Makefile, there's a line that reads

MORECOPTS = -DMGX11 -Ddark_ui

Change that to:

MORECOPTS = ${MGTYPE} -Ddark_ui

And do a "make clean" in the src/bin/geomview/x11 directory.
A rebuild after that will produce an OpenGL using binary.

One note about the resulting geomview: the OpenGL driver
currently doesn't do the lighting properly, so you'll have to use
the software shader.  The switch for this is on Cameras panel
(hotkey "v~").
