 You can add drivers to and remove drivers from your current GDAL version
 without recompiling GRASS. All GDAL driver checks are done in GRASS on
 run-time, but #ifdef conditions are evaluated only on compile time. That
 means, at run-time, every time v.out.ogr is invoked, you would need to
 check if the "GPKG" driver is available and set the default answer for the
 format option of v.out.ogr accordingly.
