>Description:
	xlockmore requires Mesa, which does not work on the alpha.
>How-To-Repeat:
	# cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xlockmore && make && make install
>Fix:
	Mesa is not actually required for xlockmore to have most of
	its functionality.  So, the Makefile there could detect, either:
		a:  That Mesa is a "weak" depend, and not build it
		    in if it can't, or
		b:  That is on an alpha and so not to compile in
		    Mesa.
	I like a: the best, since I believe that this functionality
	could be well used in other pkgs -- I don't think that it is
	too uncommon for a package to be "enhanced" by another pkg but
	not necessarily require it.
