Hi, I was puzzled with disappear of glapi.h, but glapi.h not disappeared
it just "moved", not quite, is a long story that I cant explain in
English . 
glx have been spit in indirect rendering and that part still in X11
source and direct rendering that is definitely in mesa3d sources. Mesa3d
have the glapi [1] in his source.
Now I'm investigation, why Mesa package of Fedora doesn't expose headers
of glapi. I found this when I saw a packaged called mesa-libglapi which
is part of Mesa src.rpm , maybe to avoid duplicated headers in Fedora
20 ... 

Hope that can help in something .
