It might work but it might not, I was originally tempted to try this,
but it all started dragging in X headers and stuff, and as the miniglx
types aren't the same as the X ones, so I would wonder how binary
compatible these things would be, It probably isn't worth the effort
of creating a combined miniglx glitz interface, if we all have our way
miniglx should go away anyways...

Sounds like the plan, I think the EGL thing is the definite future of
this stuff,
