My goal for today is "Make Mesa not be the cause of the OpenSolaris LiveCD
not fitting on a CD" - the LiveCD was over size by just a few megs - reducing
Mesa's footprint by 29Mb met my goal of not being the cause of that in
future builds.   It doesn't need to be the smallest possible - I'm not going
to strip symbol tables to make it smaller at the cost of debuggability for
instance - just smaller than it was.
