[Interest] What for does qt5gui need OpenGL?

[Philipp Kursawe]

Why don't you like the dynamic loading solution? I would always prefer it
over static linking, if possible. All plugin based systems (even Qt, where
platform is a plugin) are based on dynamic code loading.
OpenGL should not be a dependency on a base windowing framework imho.
