egl is part of OpenGL-ES
http://www.khronos.org/opengles/

mesa is extending egl so that it will work in a desktop environment
These changes are being discussed on this list
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-egl

egl is a replacement for glx such that you can create screens, modes,
configs, etc without having an Xserver around. This lets you have a
standalone OpenGL stack outside of the XServer.

Xgl then runs on top of the standalone OpenGL stack.

There is already a framebuffer based egl driver for DRI checked into mesa CVS
http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net/

Xgl is implemented using glitz
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fglitz

I'm about to check in an egl driver for glitz.

egl support is still under going a large amount of development work.
It is too early to try using it unless you want to help make it
function.
