Well it was a workaround. In this way opengl distro features would point to
our libraries even if that is not the right thing to do. Think about
libsdl. I actually did this for this case as i remember. libsdl was a
dependency for omxplayer and libsdl was triggering mesa in build because of
this opengl dependency taken from DISTRO FEATURES. So I made this to trick
the package not to depend on mesa but on rpi graphic libraries.

But I dropped this ugly thing. We need a real way to fix this now. There is
a discussion on ml already about this.
