x11grab is not lgpl (that is what you meant 
with x11, no?) and opengl is a slightly 
obscure feature (but please enable auto-detection 
if you think that opengl is a system library).

What are you trying to fix? We auto-detect 
zlib, bzlib, lzma, vaapi, vdpau, iconv, sdl, 
xv, alsa, jack and I don't remember that 
users had problems with it. I always thought 
we consider these libraries system-libraries 
(and I still believe so).
Otoh, we would not have all these fixes for 
xcb in our tree if we had not activated 
auto-detection.
