You recalled correctly, and according to MS these describe
OpenGL 1.1. Anyway, OpenGL, and the gl.h file is not part of
the Windows API. But I'd defiantly be for all the .h files in
the SDK to be translated for Phobos.
You can't use OpenGL without creating a context(a window), and
for that you a windowing system - either a general
one(Win32/X/GTK/Qt) or an OpenGL-toolkit(GLUT/GLFW/SDL)(Yes, I
know SDL is not an OpenGL toolkit, but it can function as one).
Phobos does not have any windowing system - the Win32 binding are
about the Windows filesystem and DLL loading, not about creating,
managing and using graphical windows. That means you'll have to
get an external library anyways to use OpenGL.
