As I said previously, the MesaGL .so link and headers are required, else
you end up with proprietary-ized binaries that work *only* when the
nvidia GL libs are installed. MesaGL-linked binaries wor on both MesaGL
and Nvidia-GL (supposedly) systems.
I say (supposedly) because I don't have/use NVidia cards myself, but
I've heard enough success stories from reputable sources to trust the
conclusion.
