adding mesa-dri dependency explicitly.

Hi,

A user of the calibre port is launching calibre from a remote machine where=
 he
is not installing the full Xorg stack, but only calibre and it's direct
dependencies.

He reported in bug #241485 that in this setup the calibre ebook-reader
component fails to start properly. Installing mesa-dri fixed the issue for =
him,
letting the calibre component find the swrast driver it was needing.

I have reproduced his findings using to VirtualBox VMs, so I guessed qt5-gu=
i is
the port whose libraries are actually making the GL calls depending on the
mesa-dri drivers.

As a side note my machine has an nvidia card and in this combination things
don't work anyway, I guess that's because the nvidia dirver overrides libGL=
 and
friends.


Do you think it is correct to add this run time dependency? For most users
installing qt5 on the machine together with the Xserver this is a noop. It
could help in other situations.

Thanks.
