If only Mesa, xorg-server and the xorg video drivers use the drm headers, then
there is no point installing them from the kernel source in LFS. That way we
would all know where we stand and libdrm can be a dependency for any package
that uses the headers. At the moment libdrm has broken the fundamental
principle that we check the environment for compatibility, but we don't change
it to make it fit our program's needs.
