Building the XWin X server requires a machine-readable description of the
OpenGL interface, in order to generate wrapper code.

Currently, these files are directly fetched during the build, but this causes
certain problems (e.g. [1]), so X server 1.11 will change to looking for a
package containing these files, at which time this package will become a
build-time dependency of the X server.

The files this package contains are available from
http://www.opengl.org/registry/, and licensed under the SGI Free Software B
License Version 2.0 (which is identical to the X11 license)

This package isn't needed and doesn't exist in Linux distributions, so votes
are required.

Proposed setup.hint:

category: X11
requires:
sdesc: "Khronos OpenGL registry databases"
ldesc: "Khronos Group OpenGL Registry databases defining the APIs and reserved
enumerant ranges for OpenGL, GLX, and WGL."
