The OpenGL bindings in the Bindings project do not load through 
std.loader. It's a binding that requires statically linking with the 
import library. Derelict is the project that loads dynamically, but 
through a custom loading mechanism rather than std.loader.

The Bindings project is a loose collection of bindings contributed by 
several different people. Sort of a fire and forget thing. That's most 
likely why there's not any documentation. If you are on Windows, make 
sure you use the lib and def files provided by the bindings projects (in 
the lib and def subdirectories, respectively).
