Ok.

Yes, the interface argument handling (existence) needs work.
They were put in before the config detection got more reliable.
Now, they are pretty much obsolete and should not be required.

I'm planning to clean up the OpenGL Makefile.PL a bit more, along
the lines of adding the ability to explicitly set the required
defines, libs, etc. Beyond that, I'm looking at moving to a
Module::Build implementation to simplify the makefile juggling.
The headers and libraries detection could use something like
Devel::CheckLib (soon to be a more generic version of our PDL
trylink() utilities). The OpenGL library interface would be
structured around GLee or GLEW.
Thanks much for the feedback and patches,
Chris
