The reason I've not sent a patch yet is exactly what you describe: I've not
figured out yet if there's a bug somewhere or if they've essentially made
libGL.so.1 (or at least a full opengl implementation) part of the GTK
API... In any case I guess the dependency should actually be in gtk as
epoxy can't really know which GL libraries are going to be needed at
runtime.
