I'm personally done with the non-replies as well.

Aside from that, I've reworked the mesa-lib problem in my packages-xorg.git
tree. The DEPENDS/CONFIGURE/BUILD in there does not assume much, and
it will allow you to pretty much choose any combination of gallium, egl,
xa, gv and whatever you want. It may break if you do not have llvm installed
and chose an option that requires llvm, but you're supposed to `lin llvm`
yourself or change the options instead.

No more magic here, really.

I just did a few compile tests with/without gallium, egl on/off, etc. and
it's behaving as I expect it to be.

Go get it from my git tree: packages-xorg.git

Please give it a test-run, and let me know what you think.
