The names defined by Khronos Group are "OpenGL ES" and "EGL". That would
logically lead to:

- libopengl-es/BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_OPENGL_ES
- libegl/BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_EGL

But the names used for the libraries are libGLES and libEGL. Googling them
leads to OpenGL related pages. Some GNU/Linux distros (Arch Linux, Debian)
use them in package names.

IMHO, BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBGLES and BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBEGL, though not sticking
with the official names, are not *that* cryptic.

Best regards,
ELB
