I'm using a built package of Mesa git from here[1]. I hadn't noticed what
you state, because my program is still almost nothing (although it uses
shaders with the "#version 330 core" directive, is it normal that they
compile fine?). As for your advice, my program will need OpenGL 3.2 or 3.3
in the future, and it's unlikely that r200 will support it by then :), so I
need the extension.

FWIW, I have filed a bug report with the 'enhancement' tag, which is hosted
here[2].
