Just to be clear, before I re-work the patch, instead of enabling behavior as a
set of cascading options, you'd rather see the three options as mutually
exclusive at the top level, correct?

--enable-glx = enable DRI GLX
--enable-xlib-glx = enable classic Xlib GLX
--enable-gallium-xlib-glx = enable gallium Xlib GLX

I'll push the next one to the list

No it's not but it's far less frustrating to fix and then not have to deal with
than to always have a hacked patch that has to get applied.  I'd much rather
tell a customer who asks "How do I build Mesa to work with ParaView" to just
download the mesa source, configure this way, and build than to tell them
download mesa, apply this weird patch to the build system that you have to get
from us, then configure this way and build.

As a developer at a company that produces open source software, I consider it
just being a good citizen in the eco-system.
