I'm not an expert in this area, but to me it feels like the shims are wrapping APIs needing to go through getProcAddress to be resolved dynamically. All this to handle the various function availability differences given by the installed OpenGL library on the machine.

If all the EGL calls we need can be linked at compile time through normal library linking, I think that we should keep it that way as long as possible.
