It looks like we've committed to using libepoxy[1] as a shim for GL support. It looks quite nice, but there's a catch: In spite of the claim in our INSTALL that it's cross-platform, it actually depends on X11.

I think that means that we need to have a separate GL interface per-backend.

Jasper's correct; I tried this out  a while ago [1] and it currently does the right thing in modulesets-unstable [2], although the repository I specified there pointed to the libepoxy commit _before_ it was merged to master.

This isn't yet in any release, I suppose we need to wait for libepoxy 1.3.
