I'm not sure what you're referring to. There are a few static 
if(Derelict_OS_Android) blocks in there as well.

That said, DerelictGLES is nowhere near ready for primetime. If 
you check the release list, there has been precisely one release: 
0.0.1 in July 2015, when I first added Windows support. Since 
then, I've made one commit to fix a bug.

The problem is the person who was the original maintainer hasn't 
been around in quite some time, I don't use OpenGL ES, and I've 
never touched the Android Developer Kit. The binding isn't even 
up to date with the latest DerelictUtil.

The Windows and Linux should both be working, buggy perhaps but 
usable. It's my intention to get it updated to the latest 
DerelictUtil at some point and test it across ANGLE, the AMD 
developer kit, and other implementations that exist, including 
MoltenGL on OS X. However, it is not a priority for me at all 
right now. Moreover, it's unlikely I'll ever touch the Android 
bits.

I'm happy to add anyone to DerelictOrg who is willing to take on 
the task of DerelictGLES maintenance.

Before I bring 2.0 out of beta, I will add support for 
platform-specific extensions via the existing mixin 
infrastructure. I'll also most likely add support for mixing in 
and loading the system API functions to completely eliminate the 
current link-time dependency for those who choose to use them.
