Believe Marek answered these quite nicely. Thanks.

Before we had two "front-ends" for stdri - drm and sw. Now I'm merging the two
into a single library - no functionality and/or build dependency changes. It
gives us at least:
 - Removed symlinks - OpenBSD people import mesa into CVS which does not
handle them :\
 - The chance to simplify things a bit (-100 loc), merge the hardware and
software dri drivers and slightly minimize the linking time.
