+================================================================================
+OpenGL ES 2.x support
+================================================================================
+
+SDL has support for OpenGL ES 2.x under Windows via two alternative
+implementations.
+The most straightforward method consists in running your app in a system with
+a graphic card paired with a relatively recent (as of November of 2013) driver
+which supports the WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. Vendors known
+to ship said extension on Windows currently include nVidia and Intel.
+
+The other method involves using the ANGLE library (https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/)
+If an OpenGL ES 2.x context is requested and no WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile
+extension is found, SDL will try to load the libEGL.dll library provided by
+ANGLE.
+To obtain the ANGLE binaries, you can either compile from source from
+https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle or copy the relevant binaries from
+a recent Chrome/Chromium install for Windows. The files you need are:
+
+ * libEGL.dll
+ * libGLESv2.dll
+ * d3dcompiler_46.dll (supports Windows Vista or later, better shader compiler)
+ or...
+ * d3dcompiler_43.dll (supports Windows XP or later)
+
+If you compile ANGLE from source, you can configure it so it does not need the
+d3dcompiler_* DLL at all (for details on this, see their documentation).
+However, by default SDL will try to preload the d3dcompiler_46.dll to
+comply with ANGLE's requirements. If you wish SDL to preload d3dcompiler_43.dll (to
+support Windows XP) or to skip this step at all, you can use the
+SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WIN_D3DCOMPILER hint (see SDL_hints.h for more details).
+
+Known Bugs:
+
+ * SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval is currently a no op when using ANGLE. It appears
+ that there's a bug in the library which prevents the window contents from
+ refreshing if this is set to anything other than the default value.
