The #ifdefs are already there; you just need to add OpenGL detection 
to your build scripts. (Look at Kobo Deluxe for an example.)

It would be more interesting to load OpenGL dynamically. Then binaries 
compiled with OpenGL support would run on systems without OpenGL as 
well. (glSDL just refuses to enable OpenGL rendering, as if you had 
left out the SDL_GLSDL flag.) Currently, I have to build a separate 
non-OpenGL version of Kobo Deluxe, or people w/o OpenGL can't even 
load the binary.
