And why is this a good thing? I'm adamantly against building the non-glx
libGL here for standard use, and I will continue to oppose it. Be normal
people and do the same thing as everybody else in the world who's ever
used libGL in X.

Same as above.

I don't see how the standalone libGL has any relation to the ability to
test mesa with old or new X.
