        I think quite the opposite; from what I recall in contrast to glew
libepoxy is a full de-coupling of the OGL-ness on all platforms; ie. it
is not necessary to link libGL-ness into any of our binaries.

        That is great news for removing much of:

commit 96c1ae1d8e78ae8b9bd7d4001645cad24d62b720

    fix headless build

    disables OpenGL and glew usage, lets --without-gui do what
    --without-x did before and disables X related test


        Into cleaner run-time checks; and removing that whole conditional
compilation thing for GL - which would be a nice cleanup.

        Good stuff,

                Michael.
