Hi, I'm looking for a fast check to determine which maximum openGL version is available before anything else happens.

The current solution I'm using is to create a PBuffer and get the available opengl from it. It takes about a second to complete on a fast machine, which seems rather steep to determine a hardware specification.

Looking forward to your thoughts on such a check.
