Well there's two only partially related things here.  First, I can add a
--disable-opengl flag.  However, the build process will have to know how
to handle this (with say a USE_OPENGL environment variable).  I think
only the top-level Makefile can do anything about this.  This will have
to prevent NVIZ2.2 and the showdpsf programs from compiling.

The Mesa widgets are only needed by the showdspf stuff I think, so
there'd have to be a variable for that as well.  However, the showdspf
stuff is not currently compiled by default, so this should be no big
issue.  It will simply fail to link if the user tries to compile it.
