[Nix-dev] Dropping --with-gallium-drivers=i965 from mesa

Nice that you fixed it :)

So, if I understand it correctly, the intel driver/mesa/etc combination 
in nixpkgs is currently broken (it's not just my hardware). That by 
itself should be enough justification to apply your patch.

Some considerations:
a) The change to dri2proto might break other drivers. I guess we only 
find out by applying the patch and somebody complaining about it. But as 
far as I recalled, the newer dri2pro only had additional API functions, 
so that should be fine.
b) If I understand the dicussion about mesa correctly, your patch 
disables discontinued software, so that should not cause any trouble either.

I could in principle commit your patch tonight or tomorrow night so that 
the buildfarm can rebuild the packages overnight.

Cheers,
Arie
