I was just saying to Richard that if someone wants it, we can enable it.

Basing on the "opengl" distro feature makes some sense, as long as
people are aware of the interaction between directfb and opengl,
especially on platforms where Mesa may not be the GL implementation.

An alternative would be to make it a non-default PACKAGECONFIG option,
so you can enable it because you know that you have Mesa as your GL
provider.
