Don't bother trying to get a global picture of mesa, pick small pieces
of functionality and learn about them

adding an extension is a good way to start learning, pick one of the
smaller ones, grep for where previous
extensions are implemented and plugged in, look at the git history.

I don't think anyone who works on mesa started from a high level
global understanding, its just too big.
