Would older versions of Scitech Display Doctor and GLDirect fit the Utility sections of the site?

SDD was popular in the pre-TNT/Banshee days for upping the VESA compliance on many obscure 2D video chipsets, and GLDirect is an AWESOME GL->D3D wrapper for weirder obscure 3dchipsets.

Scitech released a free reg code for their last GLDirect and Display Doctor versions around 2005 IIRC. They're no longer supported or even relevant to the post-Vista market

I'm not sure about SDD, but Glide Wrappers definitely fit. zeckensack's Glide wrapper works so well, are people likely to need anything else?

GLDirect isn't a glide wrapper!

It's meant to WRAP OpenGL through Direct3D for the poor folk who are stuck on integrated chips with poor OpenGL ICDs (Intel, Trident) for say, you running Q3 better on Trident Blade3D

Heck, a page just listing wrappers would be useful, i.e.

Glide->GL (i.e. zeckensack)
Glide->D3D (i.e. nglide)
D3D->GL (i.e. wined3d)
GL->D3D (i.e. gldirect)
