Yes, it is. It compiles now.

Well, not exactly. Right now I prefer to edit the
GLWrapper file which makes it compile with my
installed gl.h. This way I do not have to mess with my
system settings. The gentoo installed gl.h is the one
from Nvidia but slightly patched to make it work with
other gl software.

Yes, it may be gentoo specific. Here is some text you
may want to expand on for the web page:

Gentoo users:

If you have nvidia-glx installed and use opengl-update
nvidia which switches to the 
nvidia provided header files (gl.h and glext.h) you
may experience a problem compiling OpenGLWrapper.hpp.
In this case you can run opengl-update xorg-x11 to
switch to the xorg provided header files, or edit
OpenGLWrapper.hpp to remove all occurences of GLAPI
and GLAPIENTRY, for example by

sed -e 's/GLAPI //' -e 's/GLAPIENTRY//'
OpenGLWrapper.hpp.orig > OpenGLWrapper.hpp
