Nah, just pop me upside the noggin. Not so much a goof as a stupid idea.

1. nvidia-driver README does list libvdpau as "reguired".
2. I also maintain the libvdpau.slackbuild
3. Copying in for 32bit libvdpau only happens with COMPAT32=yes since I 
haven't updated libvdpau for multilib compatibility.  So, typically the 
clueless user (e.g. me) running Slackware64 multilib will compile 
everything as is but then only have a 64bit libvdpau. etc, etc. That 
said, the value-added is not there for, say, WINE or BOINC.  It was a 
dumb idea.  For Slackware-14, I'll be dropping this multilib nonsense 
anyway asi ts easier just to partition off a space for a full 32bit 
Slackware install.
4. patch to nvidia-driver attached.

Thanks for the cluebat!
