Replacing Intel Graphics' OpenGL with Mesa?

Question

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to replace the "OpenGL32.DLL" and "GLU32.dll" from the Intel GPU to the one of Mesa 7.2 or 7.3. For now it uses the Microsoft OpenGL to GDI converter (IIRC OpenGL 1.1) which is really a mess. The problem is, the Intel GPU supports DirectX 9 but still not OpenGL 2.
So I would follow those steps to do it:
- Stop all OpenGL processes
- Switch to intel graphics
- Rename OpenGL32.DLL to OpenGL32_BackupIntel.DLL
- Rename GLU32.DLL to GLU32_BackupIntel.DLL
- Move the mesa  DLLs to system32
Will switching between ATi and Intel work with mesa libraries?
Regards,
Daniel
