Thank you.

You're right that I don't have a lot of time.  If I'm lucky, I get 30
minutes in the average evening to poke at any of my own hobbies,
including this. I'd love to be able to spend the whole day ripping the
amdgpu dependency out of the parts of amd/common that r600 uses, but
that's just not possible this week (or next week), hence the bandaid.

Combine that with a lack of understanding of autotools and you can see
how we ended up here.

What Jan and I sent gets the r600 build working again, without losing
functionality, and buys us time to deal with the amdgpu dependency in
the amd/common and gallium/radeon parts, which honestly is all I had
time to do at the moment without taking a day off of work to rip
amd/common apart to fix and test it properly.
