I noticed it after i got Mesa-1.2.2 working and just before i begun
the port work. I take a look at it, in fact i used the Makefile as
starting point. I have to admit i did'nt make it.

I was mistaken in my mail, it was pub/FreeBSD/incoming. Sorry :-).

Yup. Its really a silly thing: I delete all that after the patch with
post-configure: having it in the patch is not very clever.

I didn't knew if i had to try to leave the resulting work directory as
something clean for someone else to figure (say, someone who wants to
know about the source of Mesa, or want to learn how to use Makefiles
etc). May be i must care about the thing compiling/running/installing
... and keeping it in a reasonable size :-). (?)

I'll try to get it smaller, and download it today.
(Probably in this week i will not have spare time to finish it, and I
WANT to finish it :-).

By the way, you answered my mail REALLY soon. :-).
