This module features conditional compilation: add_module monitors USE_OPENGL_ES2 to determine the [e]xtension through which to use the Open Graphics Library (OpenGL).
More simply, gl is called for desktop computers and gles2 is called for embedded devices (e.g. smartphones).
Neither conditional module accepts options—add_glopts () is called in vout_helper.h for that purpose.
