In theory, the SDL and GTK3 backends should work on Windows with gl=on. But
I don't think anyone really tried it, so a few fixes are to be expected.

virgl depends on a functioning QEMU GL backend, so getting the above is a
preliminary. Note that OpenGL drivers on Windows have been notoriously bad,
and you may need to use ANGLE.
