Haha yeah.  Pretty much everything I said would be completely different
on Windows.  But yeah, the principles are the same:

1) Somehow create a window / screen using your OS's GUI API.

2) Create a GL context for that window / screen (probably can be done as
part of (1)).

3) Create a main loop to handle OS GUI events (mainly forwarding to
application logic).

4) Use GL for rendering whenever it's time to draw a frame.
