Mesa is GPL'ed. It doesn't have to be part of our project, but that's not
to say that someone couldn't build it when we are done. The last verson
I successfully got built I believe was a 3.2 beta on Intel in R4, a couple
years ago and I recall tossing emails back and forth with Duncan Wilcox on
that.

Whoa, whoa...It really never made it to a 'stage of glory'. 
It was just an idea.
