This would add link-time dependency on the nvidia drivers, which is unacceptable. I also think this would cause a legal problem: conky is GPL, Nvidia's drivers are covered with a non-free license. GPL code can't link to GPL-incompatible libraries.

I am fine with Jan de Groot.
I will not add nvidia support to conky.
