 @section build_include Including the GLFW header file

+This header declares the GLFW API and by default also includes the OpenGL header

-The GLFW header also defines everything necessary for your OpenGL header to

-`windows.h` before the OpenGL header, which would pollute your code namespace
-with the entire Win32 API.
+The GLFW header also defines any platform-specific macros needed by your OpenGL
+header, so it can be included without needing any window system headers.
 
-Instead, the GLFW header takes care of this for you, not by including
-`windows.h`, but by duplicating only the very few necessary parts of it.  It

 `windows.h` cannot cope if any of its symbols have already been defined.
