HARD.

Paul and I have occasionally discussed how to approach GLES piglit-dispatch
during the last several weeks. In some aspects, piglit-dispatch
for GLES will be more difficult than the original piglit-dispatch.
Khronos doesn't provide spec files for the GLES API, as it does for
GL. We will have to painstakingly write, or generate, our own.

In short, we need gles3 shader_runner soon. But GLES piglit-dispatch
is at least a man-month of work.
