Building Mangled Mesa for Fedora Extras is a good idea! I've never had
ParaView with mesa and mangled mesa working though. I hear the mangling
in the newest stable version is broken somehow.

I've always assumed VTK_USE_MANGLED_MESA and VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA were
mutually exclusive, because if OpenGL had an OSMesa I wouldn't need a
Mangled Mesa. Maybe that's why it never works for me.
