Thanks! The reason I was curious is I'm currently experimenting with
packaging an app as an AppImage [1], such that it can run across multiple
distros. I'm currently not bundling Mesa, instead ttreating it as a
prerequisite along with some other things. But should I start bundling it,
it's always helpful to see how others have built it. (I'm doing the
building of the AppImage in a CentOS 6 Docker container).
