Right. If you want to change any file that's listed in glapi_sources
in glx/Makefile.am, you're probably best heading over to the
mesa3d-dev or dri-devel lists. I had an idea about splitting these off
into a separate shared library installed by Mesa that libGL and the
libglx extension would link to, but it's probably not worth the
effort.
