Humm I have seen some strange behaviour though when using this 
kind of Have_dep. So I avoid using them. As my engine is a 
project really big by now, the consistent case I'm using is 
`Have_hipreme_engine`. In which case is currently used for 
generating release builds, so, the scripting functions won't be 
loaded using the shared library, they will actually be aliased to 
the functions which implement them. I done like that for reducing 
the dependency on the system library + optimization opportunities 
:D

In the renderer case, it is being done like that:

```json
{
"bindbc-opengl": {"version": "~>1.0.0", "optional": true},
"directx-d": {"path": "../../dependencies/directx-d", "optional": 
true},
"gles" : {"path": "../../dependencies/gles", "optional": true}
}
```

And in the main project, I just do configurations for that, like, 
Android:

```
{
    "name": "android",
    "dependencies" : {
       "gles" : {"path": "../../dependencies/gles", "optional": 
true}
    },
    "versions" : ["GLES3"]
}
```
