Is that strictly speaking true? I didn't think opengl was part of 
the windows api (WinAPI) itself.

Anyway, afaik opengl is not provided by c/c++ compilers. Opengl 
is just pre-installed on most OSs, along with its c/c++ headers, 
meaning it is ready to include/import and link to. It is a 
separate library and headers, installed separately from the 
compiler.

However, one could make an argument that opengl is sufficiently 
ubiquitous that d bindings should be shipped with the compiler, 
similar to the core OS bindings.
I personally think not, but if you disagree then I suggest making 
a separate thread in the main D newsgroup/forum proposing it.
