They ARE from Mesa, the Mesa version included in XFree-4.0.1. If you install XF401, you just have to install Mesa-common packages. If you install XF336, you have to install the Mesa and Mesa-common packages. And yes, you SHOULD remove all that libGL.so.1, libMesaGl and so on. If some app claims it needs libMesaGL, make a symbolic link to the libGL from nVidia. If you left any libMEsa or libGL from MEsa or XFree in your system, some apps will try to use software GL (Mesa) and some others Hardware GL (nVidia), and the result is just a hang. Yes, the script is right, you have to remove that items.
