I don't think so. Rendering to an OpenGL texture from an existing OpenGL 
context is not the same as creating an OpenGL context from an existing 
EGLSurface. Internally, the latter is already supported to some extent.

EGLSurface is really just an abstraction layer for windows, not textures 
AFAICT.
