There is now a single gallium-based EGL driver, egl_gallium.so.  Its role is
similar to DRI libGL.so in that it is a slim layer that loads the hardware
drivers (pipe_xxx.so) and client APIs (st_xxx.so), found in $EGL_DRIVERS_PATH.

If the setup is too complex for your need, you may also consider build a
egl_gallium.so that statically links to the softpipe/llvmpipe and the client
APIs selected at build time.  Have a look at targets/egl-gdi/ as an example.

The suggested way to configure Mesa has also changed to:

  $ ./configure --enable-gles-overlay --with-state-trackers=egl,vega
