[ros-kernel] OpenGL

[James Tabor]

Hay! How goes it!

Eyeball gdi32/misc/wingl.c, so far this is what I have found (ODIN Hack);^) how
gdi32 checks for opengl. The Enhanced Metafile uses this, but only a small
part.

Goin to the Super Bowl? I have to baby sit s'def Sunday to make sure they dont
fubar something at work.
