Cygwin's OpenGL implementation is just a repackaging of Micro$oft 
implemention, which do not support extensions. The html doc you mentionned 
suggests a sensible way to get around the problem, but I didn't try it 
myself, having no card specific extensions to load.

One problem with the suggested code might be that it is written for Visual 
C++, which has _WIN32 defined. The last version of gcc for Cygwin 
(2.92.2-7) has _WIN32 undefined by default; try compiling with -mwin32. If 
you still encounter problems, please report to this list the complete error 
messages you receive, instead of just saying "it didn't work".

André Bleau, Cygwin's OpenGL maintainer.
