I'm not sure if these should be in the driver itself. In practise
these do not have direct (co-)relation to the performance and/or
experience thus they may be better suited in separate project(s).

That said, if people prefer to have this in mesa let's have it as a
configure toggle. This way people can opt for/against
--enable-gallium-extra-hud, default disabled.

By doing so (the non-unix build don't use autoconf), you'll get
Brian's request by default ;-).

Feel free to improve on the configure toggle name(s).

Yay libsensors/lmsensors does not have a .pc file :-) Please add a
comment - be that XXX/TODO/NOTE or alike.

As a fall-back, set the LIBSENSORS_{CFLAGS,LIBS} here and use both of
those throughout.

Thanks
