Option to skip OpenGL Building

Description
For environments/use-cases that do not require openGL, provide a way to either skip it when /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup is run...or don't make it fail when not required...
vboxadd setup --ignoreOpenGL or something
Recently we see kernel changes failing openGL build, which makes VBoxControl not work...it would be better if openGL failure results in VBoxControl still working, but either a warning is put up - or as stated there is an option to just not build it.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Actually with VBox 5.0.4 failures in building this module are not fatal anymore.
