You can't use OpenGL without creating a context(a window), and 
for that you a windowing system - either a general 
one(Win32/X/GTK/Qt) or an OpenGL-toolkit(GLUT/GLFW/SDL)(Yes, I 
know SDL is not an OpenGL toolkit, but it can function as one). 
Phobos does not have any windowing system - the Win32 binding are 
about the Windows filesystem and DLL loading, not about creating, 
managing and using graphical windows. That means you'll have to 
get an external library anyways to use OpenGL.
