I asked "What changes do I have to make to my build environment and to
my source code in order to get the extensions support I need, in each
of the three cases?" 2C required the minimum effort for the maximum
compatibility (for the situations that I believed were important).
2A and 2B required roughly equivalent changes -- I would have to
determine whether I'm building in an oglbase environment, define a
symbol accordingly, and modify the source code to conditionally
include glext.h. Given that the effort is about the same, I'd
slightly prefer 2A, since it's more compatible with the way things are
done currently under Windows.
So my preference order was 2C, 2A, 2B.
