Indeed. I tried again from clean (and using the jhbuildrc that's
actually in git!), but it did it again.

I also tried on FreeBSD 8.0 and it *didn't* do this. This sugggests
there's some weird config stuff going on here - it does appear to be a
build system thing, not a Mesa thing ... will investigate further.

(My goal is to make it easy for people to just build Xorg from git
head casually and anywhere. This way they won't have to wait until
their distro updates to discover that Xorg removed some little thing
they happen to rely on a year ago. Also, more eyes = more bug reports,
etc.)
