X.org experimental ports updated to 7.2-RC3

Didn’t take too long but still was a necessary step. At the same time I had to update Mesa ports to 6.5.2 (and create a missing libGLw port which was needed by a few ports). X.org 7.2 is due on the 11th of December so I guess we won’t have a release candidate again.
p. Kris has been running two experimental builds on pointyhat and we already fixed a couple of ports (actually first exp-build cause 250 mails to be sent to me overnight). There are still a few outstanding issues (mainly a packing list issue with some font ports) but they’re mostly a matter of setting USE_GL or USE_XORG to the right value. The bad news is that modularity caused a big slow down on the build and it may delay the merge of the X.org ports in the tree. I won’t be able to work on fixing ports this weekend but will try to get most of them fixed next week.

In other news, Beryl 0.1.3 is supposed to be released tomor^Wtoday (8th of December), so expect a fast update of the ports (cause there are a lot of nice new features :-) ).
