Glew has the problem that it has to be selected at build time if GLX or
EGL is supported by the library, and this in not encoded in the library
name, nor ABI, nor anything.
Then it's easy to get into the situation that a binary is built but
cannot run because glew supports an API different from the one used by
wxWidgets, or the binary fails to link in the end after all objects are
compiled.
epoxy can support both with the same library avoiding this problem.
epoxy is not initialized explicitly, replaced initialization with
version check where one was not done already.
It seems to be available as vcpkg https://vcpkg.link/ports/libepoxy
There are problems related to GL context switching on Windows which does
not seem to be used in kicad
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy#known-issues-when-running-on-windows
There is also a problem related to multithreaded rendering on Windows
https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/pull/265 It's harder to tell if
threading is used for rendering but it does not look like kicad is doing
anything complex enough to warrant using multiple rendering threads.

Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.

On non-Unix, the platform selection is in platform.h, not on the command
line using the preprocessor macros from wx-config.
<wx/setup.h> relies on the platform being selected correctly, if it is
included directly, it cannot determine the correct configuration with
Visual Studio.
wxWidgets 3.1.5+ on Linux will compile with the Wayland EGL
canvas as the backend instead of the X11 backend. This requires a
version of GLEW compiled with the proper EGL defines and a different
header/code for certain parts that are X11 GLEW specific.
This introduces an in-tree version of GLEW that will be built with the
GLEW_EGL flag then statically linked into the KiCad executables when
EGL support is needed.
