I tested mesa master with and without this patch on a system running
xserver-xorg-core 1.12.4 and gnome-shell.

Without this change, gnome-shell will fail to load and metacity will
load as the fallback. Xorg.0.log reports that it can't find the
__driDriverExtensions symbol in i965_dri.so, as expected.

With the change gnome-shell starts, and glxinfo reports that it is
running Mesa i965 from master. I did not see any errors mention in
Xorg.0.log.

Is there anything else I should look for?
