Hi

I think that this feature might be useful to work around various problems on Intel and Nvidia graphics cards which worked fine with JOGL 1.1.1a but not with JOGL 2.0 (look at peq's case mentionned in another thread). However, it would fine to use it as a fallback solution when attempting to create a new context on Windows rather than asking the programmer to choose whether this flag should be set to true or false.
