Bug Description
PowerVR SGX OpenGL ES driver for Pandaboard is now available at Precise, but still lacks support for jockey.
Having the support will improve the user experience because the user will be able to install the proprietary OpenGL ES 2.0 driver by just using jockey's gtk interface.
This will enable a normal user to activate the Unity 3D experience using the OpenGL ES2.0 support by just following the same procedure already available for other boards like Nvidia and ATI.

Here I attached 2 debdiffs that would included the support for pvr-omap4. The first one uses the Alternatives class provided by nvidia-common, like done by the other drivers (including fglrx). This is the preferred method to reduce duplicated code, but then nvidia-common needs to be seeded for ARM (package is at least enabled for ARM now) and we'll have one extra package available at the image.
The second patch includes the Alternatives class inside the pvr-omap4 handler itself, and allows it to not depend explicitly at nvidia-common. While it duplicates the class, it doesn't need any extra change and might be a good way to get it included at Precise.
Please review and let me know which would be the preferred way for Precise, so I can then generate the proper merge proposal for the jockey/ubuntu bzr branch.
