Thanks for the response - that worked.  However, I have a new question 
as now my build is failing in app/xdriinfo because I initially did not 
tell build.sh where the Mesa stuff was installed.  I'm trying your 
suggestion again but this time I want to specify the Mesa path with the 
-m argument:

    util/modular/build.sh  -m  /path/to/Mesa/lib  -r app/xdriinfo  
your_prefix

But, this doesn't seem to update the necessary configuration so that 
Mesa gets found so I am still getting the same error about not finding 
the GL library.  I assume I need an equivalent command to the old "make 
Makefile; make Makefiles"?  Thanks!
