In short: anybody assumes "#include <GLES2/gl2.h>" works when the search
paths of pkg-config are used. But when pkg-config reports /usr/include/GLES2
gl2.h could not be found, because there is no /usr/include/GLES2/GLES2/gl2.h.

Until now this doesn't pop up because by chance the directory GLES2
resides in /usr/include and this path is added by most by build systems.
But the cmake configure scripts of Qt5 test for "GLES2/gl2.h" only in the path
reported by pkg-config.
