It's much easier to move to new Mesa releases when you're not building
the Xorg server too, since Xorg's GLX module & Mesa's source code are
tightly wound together. Fortunately, this should get much better in
Xorg 1.5 & Mesa 7.1, since they've established enough interfaces that
Xorg can stop symlinking individual Mesa source files into it's build,
and hopefully after moving to that, future Mesa releases can be done
independently of Xorg releases.
