Not quite. The build breaking on certain machines has/had to do with
GL versions rather than GLX versions. GLX versions < 1.3 should be a
lot less common than old GL versions.

Note that Roderick has been restructuring the wgl code, with one of
the goals being to use wgl rather than GLX in wined3d. It might be
worth it to just wait for that to get moved over.
