Not true :)

I would recommend that, too. It is very simple to use, and optionally
also works in scenarios with multiple GL contexts, see for example
<http://www.equalizergraphics.com/documents/design/glExtensions.html>.

When using Mingw-cross-env, you need to define GLEW_STATIC before
including GL/glew.h. After that, just call glewInit() when you have your
GL context and optionally check if specific extensions are available
using glewIsSupported(). That's it.
