There is also;

https://svn.csie.net/picogl/PicoGL/

Which at first glance looks like it would not be too much work to
adapt to es ( and with needed extension(s) ).

Its basically building for Linux on a desktop PC of a few years back (
ARM pxa270 is 600mhz with MMX for example). You generally just have a
lot less storage space, no fpu and much fewer pixels ( which of course
helps performance wise). We've been running kdrive and xlibs on
handhelds for years now.
