These patches look okay to me.  I suspect the most contentious one will
be #5 ("sane defaults").  It does make things less automatic (no more
host OS/CPU detection), which isn't necessarily a bad thing: you have to
make a conscious choice to do the right thing for your platform.  Except
on Linux, whose settings you picked as the default.

I also question whether --enable-xlib-glx is actually useful.  IMHO, if
you ask for GLX, you should get DRI-based GLX if --enable-dri is set,
and Xlib-based GLX if not.  (The only reason for the option that I can
think of is to be able to more conveniently test the Xlib-based GLX code.)
