Yes.

Good point. Ok, let's think it throu. There are three cases:
1. MS-Windows. There is always a wglGetProcAddress.
2. Linux. There is always a glXGetProcAddressARB.
3. Everbody else (UNIX ...). They have either not
glXGetProcAddressARB, in which case all the extensions supported by
the relevant libGL are defined properly in gl.h, or they have
glXGetProcAddressARB, in which case they don't need prototypes.
