MESA_agp_offset wasn't Xlib, but it is long dead.  It was killed by
ARB_vertex_buffer_object.  MESA_set_3dfx_mode dead when we stopped
supporting the Glide (3dfx's proprietary, low-level graphics API) Mesa
driver.  Neither of these have been supported by any Mesa driver in
many, many years, and they will never come back from that grave.
