I don't know this stuff enough to answer you, but if you face a concrete problem that is worth fixing that way we can work on shaping some patch.

Some OpenGL function that are available on all implementations are linked at compile time so we still need to link with it.
You can remove the surrounding win32 block, win32-g++ is only available on win32, as its name states, so no need for the extra scope check.
