Hmm, have you actually done this?  Seems like we don't have any support 
for Win32 mesa built-in.  Changing the linked libraries works partially, 
but it would require figuring out all the *Context functions and adding 
an entry to config.h unless I'm missing some simple way to drop it in.

I've spent a few hours playing with this so far and not yet figured out 
what functions Mesa is supposed to export on Win32 (I assume the ones in 
the wmesa.h header file, but none of them show up when I'm building).

Curiouser and curiouser thought the white hare...
