I've had a look at the Mesa package in openSUSE. Much to my surprise, it 
already has the GLES features enabled, in the .spec file at least. The 
corresponding shared objects don't seem to get installed, and the package also 
doesn't build as it is right now. I'll have to do some more digging.

Thanks for the tips so far =)
