thanks

I'm granting an etch-ignore tag for this bug because I understand that there
is work in progress to persuade the copyright holder to free the code in
question, so we should conceivably see a change in the licensing during the
lifetime of etch.  (Of course, removing mesa from the distribution would
completely not be an option anyway, so the only other choice would have been
to delay the release and wait for someone to reimplement this code...)

Cheers,
