I was under the impression that Pixar would be selling a developer's toolkit
for RenderMan (if not already).   Ardent did this with Dore.  The toolkit
would contain front end routines and some generic drivers (probably Sun and
a raster file).  Then the developer could replace the generic routines
with device dependent accelerators.
