Mesa and stepconf used together is not right. Stepconf is a "simple" tool, meant to aid users in creating simple parport driven stepper configurations. If you use mesa boards, (stepper or servo alike), you will have to create a configuration by some other means, the parport config created by stepconf is useless in that case. Maybe I am missing the point...
