By default, Chromium will try to use GLX and regular OpenGL. On embedded
platforms, these are often not present, or unaccelerated, and using EGL
and OpenGL ES instead makes more sense. To produce builds that use EGL and
OpenGL ES by default instead, this PACKAGECONFIG option can be used.
An EGL/OpenGLES-enabled build produces a chromium version that renders
2D and WebGL with GPU acceleration (if present).
