Did you try "make install-data" in mesa3d tree? It should install all 
files but the libraries (in other terms, it install headers only).

hmmm... since mesa3d-headers provide all headers, do we really need 
khronos-registry-* packages? In add, all developers test their code 
using mesa3d headers. So, I would prefer to use headers provided by 
mesa3d than khronos.
