I'm hesitant to change the parameters or semantics for
glXQueryExtensionsString() since some apps may depend on it working just
the way it does.
I'd be happier with a new function that queried the GLX extensions
supported by the current context.
Ian overhauled the extension-related code in GLX a while back and might
have extra insight. I haven't looked at this stuff in years. Ian?
