But then you have to decide how to decide which one wins.

It seems to be to be pretty irrelevent whether it's A or B since
even if B were the standard, writing:

#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glext.h>

...would still work.  In that sense, A and B are the same thing.

Even if you choose to write code that'll work on non-oglbase
implementations, you'll have:

Option A:

#include <GL/gl.h>
#ifdef GL_HAS_GLEXT         // or whatever it's called
#include <GL/glext.h>
#endif

Option B:

#ifdef some_autoconf_generated_symbol
#define  GL_INCLUDE_GLEXT   // or whatever it's called
#endif
#include <GL/gl.h>

...remember the vote for GL_HAS_GLEXT was unanimously YES.
