It is. But autodetect helps those who do not have knowledge which driver 
they need. A good Linux hacker or advanced user do not have to know every 
driver for every device. This is distro's job to match driver to hardware.
No excuses. This is not LFS.

It is not. Check your lvu install mesa-lib| grep -i egl
On my Atom I have EGL libs and headers. On build script you'll see that 
later it is enabled when really needed.

This one is not mine:
2009-10-09 Paul Bredbury mesa-lib: always build swrast driver

This is good idea - that is why it is still here.

I fixed llvm error for Dennis. It should work also for you if you were 
asked to install llvm. Do lunar update.

My 3 PCs survived. v4hn's Radeon is also alive. The trap caught only those 
sleepy heads who didn't tested mesa-lib when it was hanging on ML.
I wrote all required code, debugged it on 3 different machines.
I also have family, 8 hours work every day + 4h commute to work and back. 
So no excuses here. Less jabbering and whining more coding - everyone here 
on this topic.
