While we're on the subject of opengl, I seem to remember someone was
having trouble
compiling mesa for dos.  This worked fine for me when I used the allegro

and updated to the wip version of allegro.  The patch needed (for mesa)
is available
from

the only thing I have not got working is glut, although I have not tried
much.
