-<li>MESA_NO_3DNOW - if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations
-<li>MESA_NO_SSE - if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations
-<li>MESA_NO_ERROR - if set to 1, error checking is disabled as per KHR_no_error.
- This will result in undefined behaviour for invalid use of the api, but
- can reduce CPU use for apps that are known to be error free.</li>
-<li>MESA_DEBUG - if set, error messages are printed to stderr. For example,
- if the application generates a GL_INVALID_ENUM error, a corresponding error
- message indicating where the error occurred, and possibly why, will be
- printed to stderr. For release builds, MESA_DEBUG defaults to off (no debug
- output). MESA_DEBUG accepts the following comma-separated list of named
- flags, which adds extra behaviour to just set MESA_DEBUG=1:
- <ul>
- <li>silent - turn off debug messages. Only useful for debug builds.</li>
- <li>flush - flush after each drawing command</li>
- <li>incomplete_tex - extra debug messages when a texture is incomplete</li>
- <li>incomplete_fbo - extra debug messages when a fbo is incomplete</li>
- <li>context - create a debug context (see GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB) and
- print error and performance messages to stderr (or MESA_LOG_FILE).</li>
- </ul>
-<li>MESA_LOG_FILE - specifies a file name for logging all errors, warnings,
-etc., rather than stderr
-<li>MESA_TEX_PROG - if set, implement conventional texture env modes with
-fragment programs (intended for developers only)
-<li>MESA_TNL_PROG - if set, implement conventional vertex transformation
-operations with vertex programs (intended for developers only).
-Setting this variable automatically sets the MESA_TEX_PROG variable as well.
-<li>MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE - can be used to enable/disable extensions.
-A value such as "GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar" will enable the GL_EXT_foo extension
-and disable the GL_EXT_bar extension.
-<li>MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR - The GL_EXTENSIONS string returned by Mesa is sorted
-by extension year.
-If this variable is set to year X, only extensions defined on or before year
-X will be reported.
-This is to work-around a bug in some games where the extension string is
-copied into a fixed-size buffer without truncating.
-If the extension string is too long, the buffer overrun can cause the game
-to crash.
