I think we need both machine and distro features matching the options
here: opengl, gles1, gles2. The machine conf sets the MACHINE_FEATURE
appropriately, the distro conf then sets the distro features based on
intersection of distro policy and what is available on the machine.
Recipes like the xserver use DISTRO_FEATURE to determine how to
configure the package.
