Hi Daniel, thanks for taking a look.

I see your point, but as I'm building for an embedded system I'd rather not add
stuff I don't need (and can't use) into my buildroot. It's just another package
to track and upgrade as needed.

The patch I'm proposing shouldn't change the default behaviour. It just gives
the option to remove the libdrm dependency (and gl_renderer itself) if it's not
actually needed.
