I just rebased on master after further updating wayland-protocols and
mesa to their very freshest versions.

Not much else going on here, so maybe just let this build and then merge
to keep things current. Unfortunately the QA page hasn't shown a status
for this branch but I'll check later.

There are discussions about libglvnd support in Mesa I need to chime in
on, so we could tackle that, but not until the new year for me. That
will require a decent number of changes and lots more testing, so my
preference would be to merge this branch when substitutes are available
and then immediately work on libglvnd or whatever else is pending.
