Is it possible to use GLX/WGL without the rest of OpenGL headers?

[MarkLagodych]

I am working on a hobby window management library (like SDL but focused on GUI) and I wish to add functionality for creating OpenGL contexts, without actual OpenGL loading. The reason is that I want to use GLX/WGL/EGL for creating GL contexts and let the users use whatever OpenGL loader, version and extensions they want.
However, the generated <glad/glx.h> header includes <glad/gl.h> which does not seem to do much: it only provides one type GLubyte for a single function definition.

// Generated with: http://glad.sh/#api=glx%3D1.4&extensions=&generator=c&options=
// Line 450 of src/glx.c
typedef __GLXextFuncPtr (GLAD_API_PTR *PFNGLXGETPROCADDRESSPROC)(const GLubyte * procName);

The generated <glad/wgl.h> also includes <glad/gl.h> but I did not find what definitions from there are used.

The question is: is it possible to use WGL/GLX without <glad/gl.h>?

Yeah you can use it without but you'll have to replace the include (manually) with something that provides the symbols instead or define it yourself. glad/gl.h is only included for the required symbols.
