My experience with OpenCL on windows is: Install the the AMD drivers, then install the AMD OpenCL SDK. Done. I only played around with it for a bit though. I'd use it more, but the Blender GPU rendering doesn't have all of the shaders I use written for OpenCL.

Gallium/Mesa are working on opensource OpenCL support, but it wasn't ready when I checked it out half a year ago.
