Building your own mesa

These days I was doing a debugging session on a slowdown somewhere in the linux graphics pipeline of mine after I have changed to arch linux. It have turned out to be a bug in mesa, but in order to corner the problem I had to compile mesa myself both in latest and earlier versions.
I have found that it is really easy to do so - nearly as "simple" as compiling and using your own kernel and it is well documented, but I had to use different information from different sites so I thought it is good to collect the relevant links in one place.
