OpenGL header problems

As I mentioned in my email about enabling indirect OpenGL acceleration,
there are some problems when trying to link to -lopengl32.
I tracked this down to problems with the way that
/usr/include/w32api/GL/gl.h decorates the function declarations for the
gl* functions. There are some collisions between the way that the
standard windows headers define WINGDIAPI and APIENTRY and the way that
gl.h expects them to be.
However, the problem is a little trickier than just that: I added a call
to glPixelStorei in Xserver/hw/xwin/InitOutput.c (without #including any
opengl headers) and instead made my own prototype for glPixelStorei. If
I made it:
void __stdcall glPixelStorei (unsigned int, int);
then the linker would complain about how it had to fixup a reference to
glPixelStorei as _glPixelStorei@8. But that is exactly what the
__stdcall was supposed to do, so I am getting a little confused about
why the prototype was being ignored.
I need an expert on __stdcall and w32api headers to give me a hand here.
Igor, I saw a post you made on this subject before, so I am counting
on you :)
Once this little trick is solved we will have to figure out how to get
the proper headers in exports/include/GL/; that directory currently
getes some Mesa headers in it. I'm not sure if we can cleanly disable
that and point to the w32api OpenGL headers instead.
