If I remember correctly, OpenGL applications on windows are supposed to 
only link to OpenGL 1.1-features, functions from newer OpenGL-versions 
should be loaded as extensions.

This is mentioned in the comments in gl.h and glext.h from the w32api 
package.

So, include gl/glext.h in order to get the necessary defines, and load the 
symbols using SDL_GL_GetProcAddress.
