I'm guessing (don't have time to test tonight) that the ways you could 
make this work would be:

    * add a --no-deps flag to the easy_install PyOpenGL call, this
      *should* prevent dependency negotiation
    * use easy_install ctypes to re-install the ctypes package so that
      easy_install considers the package installed and thus available

The long-term solution is probably to fix easy_install/setuptools so 
that there's a reasonable way to write a test to say "if this code 
succeeds, this dependency is satisfied" or the like.

Good luck,
Mike
