The advice I got from the ParaView developers (I think it was Berk
Geveci) was to skip name mangling of Mesa and build the PV client with
vendor libGL.so and build the PV server with Mesa/OSMesa.

This is for the situation where you have many server processes on hosts
without monitors, graphics hardware, or an Xserver, and a client with
all of those things.
