Hi all,

A lovely series inspired (more like 'was awaken to send these out') by
Pal Rohár, who was having issues when building xlib-libgl (plus the now 
enabled gles*)

So here, we teach the final two static glapi users about shared-glapi,
plus some related fixes. After this is done we can finally start
transitioning to shared-only glapi, with some more details as mentioned
in one of the patches:

    XXX: With this one done, we can finally transition with enforcing
    shared-glapi, and

     - link the dri modules against libglapi.so, add --no-undefined to
    the LDFLAGS
     - drop the dlopen(libglapi.so/libGL.so, RTLD_GLOBAL) workarounds
    in the loaders - libGL, libEGL and libgbm.
     - start killing off/cleaning up the dispatch ?

    The caveats:
    1) up to what stage do we care about static libraries
     - libgl (either dri or xlib based)
     - osmesa
     - libEGL

    2) how about other platforms (scons) ?
     - currently the scons uses static glapi,
     - would we need the dlopen(...) on windows ?

Hope everyone is excited about this one as I am :-)

Cheers,
Emil
