As far as I know, there is no separate source package for xwin-gl, it is 
simply the same X server built with different flags.

This mail [1], linked to from the todo web page, seems to explain how to build 
with the acceleration code enabled, in the old, Imakefile'd monolithic tree.

I haven't looked at all as to if it's a simple of just finding the correct 
thing to turn on in the modular tree, or how much this has rusted due to other 
internal changes in the X server or GLX over the intervening years.
