In the EGL/X11/WGL GLContextImpl specialization,
we have a new way of ctx creation using the new ARB method
of passing some attributes (version, debug, ..):

  long abstract GLContextImpl.createContextARBImpl(..)

it's documented in GLContextImpl.

Problem: On all platforms, this is done at ctx creation. On OSX,
AFAIK it's done via the drawable / ctx binding. So a bit adaptation might be required.

If impl. properly in MacOSXCGLContext,
all functionality would be available, i.e. upfront query
of avail. versions and capabilities.
