Compared to just hacking in an extra compositing step when  
transferring textures into OpenGL, sure. I didn't mean it would be  
technically hard, but it wouldn't be a minor change.

That sounds like you're thinking of a simpler problem.

llSetText creates a 2d sprite, and one that's only visible over a  
short distance. I'm thinking about something you'd use to create  
signs you could see out to draw distance. Doing that efficiently,  
when there can be hundreds of them nearby?
