I saw no objections and after I applied the patch I couldn't find any
files with the strings "glew" or "GLEW" in them. So I have push the
change to master.

Keith as far as I can tell the version in mesa is unused, somebody
should probably add it to the demos repository but thats another
issue.

But people on automake need to rerun autogen.sh.

Cheers Jakob.
