[GEM-dev] constInfo.context?

[james tittle]

...in GemMan, there's a "constInfo.context" that I'm having a hard  
time figuring out where it's actually assigned a value:  any ideas?   
This came about because I finally got around to putting some code  
into GemMan::initGem that creates a non-window-associated gl context  
("masterContext") which can be used to the create "shared Contexts"  
later on, associated with a window...this has two purposes:

1.  it allows me to remove all the stupid "HaveValidContext()" calls  
that are sprinkled thruout the code in #ifdef __APPLE__'s:  the cool  
thing here is that osx users will now be able to loadbang gl calls  
that'll actually mean something (like loading models, images,  
programs, ...):  apple's gl is very strict about context association,  
and would crash before...

2.  it allows me to fix the multiple_windows problem of not actually  
sharing some gl items, like textures, programs, framebuffers,  
etc...I'm now trying to update that branch so that I can release  
another test, and of course to extend work on it...

...so I'm wondering if GLX/WGL needs a "masterContext" to share  
resources with?
