I've come to the same conclusion as to about where they should be
located. However, I think that the OpenGL package should be what puts
them there. I can be convinced otherwise though. If Andre Bleau or
anyone else want's to consider matching lib/*.def and include/GL/*.h
files to be included in the w32api package then please upload the
patches with appropriate ChangeLog entries at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=2435&atid=302435 and
I'll take a look.
Earnie.
