I've done some OpenGL in conjunction with the RSXNTDJ package, which
builds Windows executables, and with the cygwin/mingw32 packages. In
both cases, I built the import libraries from the MS opengl32.dll,
glu32.dll, and built libglut.a from the glut sources.

This approach allows you to use either glut from a console app, or to
create a window and bind to a gdi. 

I never tried the Mesa/opengl.dll route. You will need to get the .lib
files into a usuable format, if they are not already djgpp compatible.
