Summary: Merge ScummVM.exe and ScummVMGL.exe
Initial Comment:
Is there any need to have the OpenGL and the non-
OpenGL version in two executables. It whould make
more sense to have this merged in one executable file
(aka scummvm.exe) and then select the OpenGL
renderer either using a command line parameter
(scummvm.exe -gl game) or selecting it in the ingame
gui.

Hi,
Firstly, Windows does indeed ship with OpenGL in
versions 95 OSR and above, but as an ungodly slow software
renderer (not discouraging OpenGL of course, just Microsoft).
I have a suggestion on this matter, though. Perhaps you
could change around the OpenGL #define, so when you
compile it, OpenGL AND native SDL rendering are both
available, a little like your #defines for OGG Vorbis and MAD
MP3. That way, you can compile it without OpenGL and get
just SDL, or with OpenGL and get both. What do you think?

For Windows and MacOS it might make sense, as those always
ship with OpenGL (at least OS X does, I am not fully sure
about Windows). For Linux etc. it's a different thing - not
everybody will want to link against OpenGL if they don't
intend to use it.
Personally, I never use the OpenGL version, as it doesn't
support the nice scalers.
