I would put GLES into a different plugin (binary). That way you can
easily switch between GLES and desktop OpenGL (at least at startup time)
on platforms that support both and default to GLES on certain platforms.

(Note that GLES requires different runtime dependencies – libGLES.so vs
libGL.so for desktop GL – making any sort of “dynamic” switching or
using the same plugin binary for both somewhat more difficult.)
