Alright. I went ahead and added them into Mesa, but I just added all
the headers from find. You should look at the diff and prune out any
unnecessary ones.

I went ahead and fleshed out everything. I still didn't try building
since I don't have recent enough libraries and headers to build
xserver HEAD.

Attached is a diff for xserver that uses the Mesa sources files to
create symlinks to and build its source files. The second diff is
what's needed in Mesa for the xserver to pull in all the headers. The
xserver diffs can also be pulled from my home repo:

git://git.dwcab.com/~dan/xserver.git

If someone with a real knowledge of the xserver/mesa source could try
this out and see if it's broken, that would be nice.
