Shouldn't the OpenGL functions be resolved dynamically by the platform plugin? 
QtGui should not link to the GL library. We had to implement that 
functionality for Windows, so that desktop GL and ANGLE could be selected at 
runtime.

This would also allow one QtGui to work with both desktop GL as well as GL ES 
in one build (though it could be disabled if one of the two can never happen).
