glproto includes gl.h which is in the mesa source. The mesa package
depends on glproto.
This will become a circular dependency if glproto is fixed to depend on
gl. I was surprised to see a protocol
including a header file from it's package implementation. 

The patch is not responsible for this situation, but it shows that the
packager cannot rely
on configuration dependencies alone to function properly. Not to mention
there are
most likely missing dependencies. Build tool chain dependencies are one
thing, 
but running dependencies are another.
