It seems to me that whatever reason Xorg needs to build mesa for (I'm
guessing the indirect GLX software rasterizer) is a mistake.
If mesa is to be built, it should be built within the tree it is developed.
That might mean that Mesa should learn how to build itself in a form suitable
for use as X.org's internal rasterizer, or better still now that we have
AIGLX approaching, that Mesa grows a DRI software-only rasterizer that Xorg
can use when a hardware driver for AIGLX isn't available.
We actually did plan on that, but talking at XDC its a lot harder to do
than you'd think, as you've got no DRM or sarea, so you have to fake them
up..
