As mentioned in another mail, Blender builds fine with some of the deps
commented. Can't recall offhand which I disabled temporarily. I stuffed
in revised parts of the old ZETA patch and blender runs. But it has drawing
problems, as the MesaSoftwareRenderer has no double buffering as of yet.
I would liked to dive into that again, but my old laptop died, and the new
ThinkPad freezes quite frequently. (Seems on disk io.) So I am primarily
interessted in getting the setup more stable first.
