ie, the configure script checks that your GL_GLEXT_VERSION is greater
than or equal to 7. If your glext.h is earlier than this, it
will give you the message about not having opengl (the configure script
should probably be changed to a less misleading message).

*shudder* Trying to get stuff which uses windows APIs to compile under
Cygwin can be..... painful.

On a completely unrelated point, I have fullscreen client under X11
_almost_ working (just have to get it to grab the mouse properly now).
One thing that did occur to me is that it used the XF86VidMode
extension, so presumably this should be added to the configure
script. Anyone wanna give me a pointer on how to do it? :)
(Oh, and do we have an established preference for how we'd like
out patches?)
