Thank you very much for your advice. I am aiming the native OpenGL windows 
implementation, so I will drop the opengl requirement and I will remember to 
point w32api as a build requisite. OSG does all the GL extensions work, so it 
is fine by me to use opengl32.dll and glu32.dll.

Regards,

Alberto
