No, I was just extending what was there so I have no real preference.  I will need to check if it impacts non-x86 builds.  I do not think it will be a problem, since most non-x86 systems have their own GL implementations.  I think it will just enable swrast on ones that are not x86.  I will resubmit with it set to auto where it will only build the appropriate drivers after I test.  Thanks!
