The problem is building the Xserver.  I think this is why the xc tree is
used.  There is also the problem of building diffrent 2d XDrivers, for MFB
and the like.

This lookes like a good solution.  If it where easy to use DRIs snapshots
then there would be little need for Debian pkgs.

The Mesa tree can build both libGL and libGLU.  Last time I tryed using
Debian's xserver-xfree86 pkg with Mesa built libGL and 3d Xdrivers it
complained about ABI versioning and other stuff I had little desier to
read about.
