Hi,
As maintainer would be open to changing Glew to EGL support, but need to
understand better the consequences.
I have a test build of glew with egl (for Linux, not hurd or freebsd
yet) and it builds fine.
Any pointers to docs on EGL/non-EGL builds, or opinions and evidence
would be welcome.

That causes problems (crashes, "Unable to init glew library") in
software using glew and wxwidgets. Google finds multiple instances, I
know about hugin.
FWIW, these are the packages which seem to depend on both wx and glew
(just based on checking dependencies):
hugin
megaglest
qutemol
scorched3d
darkradiant
limesuite
The last two have already switched to wx3.2 in unstable and testing, but
I don't see reports in the BTS of glew-related problems, and didn't see
any issues from a quick test myself. At least with darkradiant I did
get what looked like a GL rendered pane to appear - I'm not sure I
actually exercised any GL code with limesuite (it seems to need some
hardware I don't have to be useful).
Cheers,
Olly
