I first saw this problem back in November at one point and I created the 
patch then.  At some pointer after, I forgot about the patch and I 
wasn't see the issue anymore.  I figured something in the DRI 
infrastructure changed, thus making the patch obsolete.

But then, just a week or so ago, a coworker was setting up a new devel 
environment when it resurfaced for her:

$ ./glxgears
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/vmwgfx_dri.so
libGL: driver does not expose __driDriverGetExtensions_vmwgfx(): 
/usr/lib/dri/vmwgfx_dri.so: undefined symbol: 
__driDriverGetExtensions_vmwgfx

Honestly, I haven't had time to dig into this to know if there's a stale 
component somewhere that's responsible.

But if this patch causes no harm, I'd like to commit it and move on.
