It's a packaging bug.  The generated source should be packaged with the tarball like other generated source (flex, bison, etc).  MesaLib tarballs have sometimes contained and sometimes missed these files, and I'd like it to be consistent.  Yes, I can use a python with that module, but the build system I use for XQuartz (namely a vanilla OS X) does not come with that python module, and I frequently forget to install it or change to a different python when I roll a build.
