I'm not sure if we should load the ICD functions from wined3d since in
Wine we don't implement the ICD interface. The ICD functions more or
less match WGL (with slight differences if I recall correctly).
Perhaps the nicer way is to write a small OpenGL wrapper which just
contains the calls we care about. Inject it into the process you are
starting. This is roughly what I planned to do at the time, but didn't
have time to play with it.
