And D3D doesn't always take hunks with it- I have done several ports that way already- and it's rarely as bad as you're making it out to be...

Considering that at least one of their licensees has indicated that they're releasing for Linux and hasn't changed that tune to date, the odds are decent that we'll at least see ONE source based title.
As for me pulling that off, I might try... But the plate's full right at the moment, so it'd have to wait a small amount.

It's not a foregone conclusion (see UT3...sigh...) but they'd be saying there were issues if it wasn't mostly there for them.
