I also noticed this (reported it in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122994). These files (mostly in
src/mesa/glapi/ and windows/VC6/mesa/ ) exist in upstream git, but not
in the upstream release. I guess they are there by mistake, maybe the
diff was made between a git-based tree and the upstream released tree?
