Does this actually work now? You unpack the Mesa source to a directory
- say /usr/src/Mesa and then just run the build script and say
(basically):

./build.sh -m /usr/src/Mesa

Does this work? Last time I tried, there was some strange hand waving
required to build where Mesa wouldn't build without Xorg installed and
Xorg wouldn't build without Mesa installed.

Here's hoping it works now.
