Windows®’ OpenGL DLL’s do not expose said functions. You have to use their definitions and manually “link” to them via wglGetProcAddress().

This page over at StackOverflow has a good explanation on how to load OpenGL extensions manually. And if you'd rather not do that, this page at OpenGL.org has a list of libraries that will do it for you.
