A possible typo here?  EGL and GLX are both methods for setting up
OpenGL surfaces and, while Mesa has some bits for EGL, if we're
going the whole hog with Xorg then GLX is what we need.

If someone wanted to use acceleration outside of X, they could get EGL
working and use Glamo (via DRM) directly on the framebuffer.

Some details here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/EGL

What we definitely need, and which constitutes the "fun part" of
getting accelerated 3D, is a Mesa backend driver.  That comes from a
fleshing-out of this empty file:
