Johannes Lundberg 91f6994f6f New port: graphics/libxatracker
XA Tracker is built from Mesa sources and is required by xf86-video-vmware
in order to take advantage of accelerated graphics using the vmwgfx kernel
DRM driver.

This commit also adds libdrm as a runtime requirement for xf86-video-vmware
and patches the DRI device loading routine to work outside of Linux. If no
DRI device exists (vmwgfx kernel driver is not loaded), xf86-video-vmware
will fallback to software rendering.

The vmwgfx kernel driver is available in the drm-kmod port.

Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to that
of OpenGL*. To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or
state machine, it is being used with authorization from Silicon Graphics,
Inc. However, the author makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a
compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with Silicon Graphics, Inc.
XA is a new state tracker designed by VMWare for their virtual GPU driver "vmwgfx".
