There is no direct dependency on Mesa. Just:

$ rpm -q --whatprovides libGLU-devel libGL-devel
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-18
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-18
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-18
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-18

$ rpm -qR xorg-x11-devel | grep libGL
libGL >= 1
libGLU >= 1

The only change for 3rd party GL packages will be to "provide"
libGL/libGLU, so the Mesa packages need not be pulled in. This is
unchanged compared with the libGL.so.1 SONAME dependency.
