opengl support in wine

I do not agree with this suggestion. How many users want(or have to) override 
glx funtions, and how many users just build Wine from source and want OpenGL 
and Direct3D support?

It WILL lead to much confusion among users if OpenGL is disabled by default, 
no matter how well you annouce it. And those who know how to hook library 
functions will know about dynamic loading vs. linking at build time.

As a consent, I could think of a configure option --link-opengl, but I am not 
the one to decide this, and I think that too many options aren't really good 
too.

Why do you want to hook GL functions? I consider this a hacky workaround for 
bugs which should be fixed otherwise, but I might be wrong with this. The 
only thing I know is a workaround for the fglrx driver, but for Wine, this 
was fixed elsewhere.

Cheers,
Stefan
