First of all, thanks! Sorry, I haven't had time to review and test this
completely, but here's a bit of feedback already.

Perhaps this should depend on BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBGL ||
BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBGLES to not clutter the screen when it cannot do
anything anyway?

Perhaps it should be a menuconfig instead so that there's a
corresponding kconfig symbol to easily enable/disable it?

There is a lot of cascading menus which makes it hard to get an
overview. Perhaps they should be replaced by comments instead
(E.G. comment "APIs")?

Probably these should be default y so they get enabled if the
dependencies are present, as that is most likely what the user wants.

Same comments for platforms and window systems.

Likewise this should probably be default y.

I think you are missing libglu here.

libeet? What does that have to do with opengl?

As GLX implies X11 and the dependencies are the same, perhaps we should
just handle them together? (E.G. move the enable-x11 / disable-x11 up
to the glx option).
