I have finished a script that fixes some bugs in Mesa-3.4 distrib.
Also some m4 files where missing from Mesa-3.4 (which i have taken
from a Mesa-3.3 distrib, as 3.4 is a bugfix version of 3.3).
Everything (including src/X86) will compile, run and "gmake check"
after running this script :)

If anyone here is interested, i'd be happy to mail these files to them.
Please send replies directly to me, as this subject doesn't belong on
-stable;) 
I also sent a message about putting Mesa-3.4 into ports to -ports:)
