Just to clarify the issue- the big changes in Mesa were made between
Mesa 3.4.x and Mesa 3.5.  That's when Keith re-modularized the source
code into separate modules for T&L, s/w rasterization, etc.

Keep in mind Mesa's version numbering scheme:  even-numbered minor
versions (like 3.4) are stable releases with only incremental changes
while odd-numbered minor versions (like 3.5) are development releases
(lots of changes).

The changes from Mesa 3.5 to 4.0.x were only incremental.

The major number is incremented to coincide with OpenGL releases:

OpenGL 1.0  ->  Mesa 1.x
OpenGL 1.1  ->  Mesa 2.x
OpenGL 1.2  ->  Mesa 3.x
OpenGL 1.3  ->  Mesa 4.x
