Yes. Given that the OGSF library has remained portable so far, it
would be worth keeping it that way, IMHO.

Similarly, the off-screen rendering stuff might be better off being
added to Togl.

As all of NVIZ' main components (OpenGL, Tcl/Tk and Togl) are
available on both Unix/X11 and Windows (OpenGL and Tcl/Tk are also
available for Mac but, AFAIK, Togl isn't), it would be worth avoiding
creating unnecessary obstacles to having a native Windows version of
NVIZ in the future.
