Sorry for the delay, real life has been busy :-)

My gut reaction is it should be ok to drop.  We have a binary
compatibility obligation to BeOS software, but that only extends
to our ~ Mesa 7.9 fork which was the *LAST* possible version
of Mesa I could get built under gcc2 :-)

Anything goes on master as we guarantee no ABI conformity until
R1 comes out.

Our complete OpenGL kit is within Mesa now, if you don't see any
obvious consumers left then we're likely ok.

In the unlikely event I stumble upon some crazy *big* requirement
i'll post back to the ML, explain, and request to revert.

Thanks for asking about this stuff and keeping me in the loop.

I'm working on some package management stuff right now under Haiku,
but will circle back to Mesa and try to give it some love soon.

A month or two ago I tested master. It compiles, but llvmpipe is
currently crashing (likely argument changes in functions that we
access through pointers or something)
