Wine builds replacements for opengl32.dll and glut32.dll, both of which
are common dlls in use by windows programs that use OpenGL. Also, glut
isn't necessarily a "crossplatform" lib. It is a toolkit library
containing a bunch of functions that are commonly used in GL programs.
OpenGL and most derivatives of it are designed to be "cross platform
compatible", at least to a greater extent than DirectX.

Despite this, the DLLs just expose a cross platform API. The code inside
opengl32.dll and glut32.dll will probably still be very windows-centric.
I think the glut32.dll.so built by WINE actually calls into libGL.so,
libGLU.so, and libglut.so in linux/BSD/etc...
