Public bug reported:

GLEW is installed for either GLX or EGL, making it impossible to switch to EGL if some applications need GLX.
epoxy also does not need to be initialised, making startup faster.
GTK, Firefox and Libreoffice are among those that have switched to epoxy.

Patch (not sure the best way to work with Launchpad and/or Sourceforge...):
https://sourceforge.net/p/hugin/hugin/merge-requests/2/

A draft that has only been tested on Linux and at the moment uses
PKG_SEARCH_MODULE to find epoxy. So, may work on macOS (libepoxy is
available in Homebrew) but more work for Windows and other supporting
scripts.
