[plt-scheme] Re: [REQ] OpenCL Binding Cross Platform Testers

The issue is that OpenCL needs very specific hardware acceleration
drivers that aren't supported by most video cards and none of the
virtualization products I know of support the drivers. Even the Linux
and Windows drivers are only Nvidia betas. It is only deployed on OS X
Snow Leopard with modern Mac hardware, yet all the major players are
behind it and I'd like to have it ready for PLT users when it is more
common.
