Well, XGL and DMX won't even build, so --with-mesa-source won't help
anything. XGL has been removed in git, and DMX is still broken and
unmaintained, I think. I was working on a commit to remove the
MESA_SOURCE usage entirely since I'm pretty sure that the spots that
were using it would have been broken anyway, but I never finished it.

So, I don't think it's needed, but you can leave it in if you don't
feel comfortable removing it. It doesn't hurt anything.
