Sounds like a good idea to me, as OpenGL is getting to be a pretty
common library these days with good coverage of the various platforms
out there.
One interesting tidbit, BTW: OpenGL is now a standard part of XFree86,
from release 4.0 (which was released just yesterday) and onwards.

I've got an OpenGL detection macro written from scratch by myself
which seems to hold up pretty good. It has been tested and found to
work on various Linux platforms, FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX and
BeOS, at least. Feel free to check it out, its part of the source
distribution of the Coin library: <URL:http://www.coin3d.org>.
I believe it could be a decent starting point for a macro to migrate
into the standard Autoconf distribution, if the maintainers feels this
is a good idea.
