Mesa can be configured to build gallium-based DRI drivers but not
gallium-based EGL driver.  But it is not clearly documented.  I've
added a new option, --disable-gallium-egl, to Mesa to easily disable
the gallium-based EGL driver.  What do you think?

For a normal desktop which has DRI drivers, egl_dri2 should be the way
to go.  So along the way, I've also fixed a bug in gallium-based DRI
drivers to support surfaceless current contexts.  I've only tested
with nouveau, but r300g/r600g should hopefully work too.  A patch to
add the PCI IDs of cards supported by nouveau to egl_dri2 is still
required though.
