Oh, sry, I forgot to answer you first question. Why OpenGL? purpose of 
these libs is to use hardware acceleration whereever possible and offer 
the same API regardless of the underlaying platform. There are only two 
fully-featured graphics APIs that use modern hardware for render 
acceleration - Direct3D and OpenGL. D3D is only for Windows platform. I 
think this leaves no other option than OpenGL.
