It's not aesthetics... atm if you want just Vulkan you still need
--enable-egl --with-egl-platforms=x11,wayland*.
Otherwise it won't have any winsys integration... Not sure if it'll
build/link properly even :-(

* Admittedly --enable-egl and --with-egl-platforms=x11 is the defaults
atm so you're mostly fine by default
