Umm... the fact that these are Win32 libs means that you want be able to
link them without rsxntdj, cygwin, lcc or the like. In fact, the
resulting program would never work, since there would be absolutely
no way you'd be able to load the opengl32.dll file using
DJGPP without rsx.

But there's another option: Scitechsoft's MGL development kit, libraries
target for DOS (DJGPP specifically, whee!), Windows 9x/NT
(DirectX/OpenGL), etc.
It uses the OpenGL API as in interface, and it makes porting easy (like
from Windows <-> DJGPP, you'd only have to recompile it)
