I have just done a major software/hardware change on my setup.
Among other things I installed was the "Microsoft Platform SDK".

The SDK contains lots of new header files,
which it plugs in to the VC++ compilation process.
If no special options are used, these files apparently
actively break any user defined HGLRC (or any other opaque type)
definitions. I understand that enforcing the opaquenes of the types
does have its merit.

As I want to get my program to compile (still using 
Mesa gl*.h files) I had to create my own header file
which first includes windows.h and then includes the gl*.h files.

It looks like that in order to be compatible with the different 
alternatives, the only way is to include windows.h...
I think this is an issue especially for glut.h because 
it is supposed to not require the user to include 
any "windows.h" like headers.
