The mesa package seems to contain at least 7 (!) copies of LLVM, in
egl_gallium.so, pipe_swrast.so, gbm_gallium_drm.so,
libllvmradeon9.1.0.so, libxatracker.so.1.0.0,
libvdpau_softpipe.so.1.0.0 and swrast_dri.so.

This blows up the package size something fierce. Hopefully, it will
get better with llvm 3.3, when we can link against shared LLVM libs.

In the meantime, can libllvmradeon9.1.0.so be moved to the ati driver package?

As a side note, lrzip manages to get the mesa package size down to
16MB (from 32MB with xz.)
