The android platform depends-on the android drivers (so we can't break the android drivers with our abi/api changes).
The mesa platform provides its native window type and some function hooks that are needed to the mesa drivers, so the drivers depend-on the platform, and abi changes could break the drivers.
I guess the long term solution is to pull parts of the mesa drivers into the mesa platform, and have mesa depend-on headers provided by the drivers.
