+Subject: build: Add the 'gl' pkg-config
+
+Cogl does not explicitly link against GL or GLES any more, and Clutter
+master dropped the 'gl' pkg-config requirement because it introduced
+unneeded and conflicting dependencies.
+
+GNOME Shell still uses glXQuery* API, so it needs to explicitly link
+against libGL.
