I talked with both Marek and Christoph, and they both said they'd
prefer to simply disable the build. I don't feel strongly, but if
someone is to revive it it'd be nice if we didn't make the git history
harder to follow.

Applying your reasoning (which I tend to agree with) to some other
parts of Gallium makes for interesting conversation. The VAAPI state
tracker and targets aren't built. Should we also nuke them? How about
something like the xorg-i915 target (which installs a
'modesetting_drv.so')?
