If your app is looking for loaded extension glx.so?  Then no you would need
to compile and load.

It is possible to statically compile glx.a and link against it.  That si
what I mean.

If you are looking for DRI, then again no.  DRI/DRM would not work on
Windows
with or without Cygwin.  DRI/DRM is strictly glued to Linux kernel headers
and upto a great extent to 3dfx for Linux.

I do not think hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering can be done on Windows
using Cygwin
and OpenGL/DRI/DRM code in XFree86 4.0.  Therefore I see no need to spend
time on it
unless someone starts a project and write a WGL exquivalent of GLX drievr...
check oss/sgi.com
for more details.  It requires writing a new API.
