Description
The S3TC patent expired, so, since mesa 17.3, S3TC support was merged in mesa. The "force_s3tc_enable" env variable support was also removed.
Most distro by now are already providing the external library (or the S2TC alternative version), so this should not be needed anyway (Debian and Ubuntu are doing this since many years).
So, as a cleanup, we may plan to remove the "force_s3tc_enable" support and related code, maybe in 2018, when everyone ships mesa at least 17.3 or is supposed to have the external library.
For reference, see #575 and CompressedTextures.
