Yeah, I didn't include them in my builds.

Yes, all you need is some headers and maybe (I would say so) an import
library.

It should work: if you take the import library (libopencl.a or
libopencl.dll.a) from a GPU vendor's SDK, it should enable it to work on
all systems (if I understand all the OpenCL magic correctly).
Also: I strongly recommend switching to the mingw-builds toolchains. Mine
are quite old by now and the mingw-builds are better and newer ;-)
