Fixed Issue 259: need a copy context
Added and specified GLContext.copy() and supplied implementations on Windows, X11 and Mac OS X platforms. New code is untested at this time. May need to make subsequent changes on X11 and Mac platforms where new code has not been compiled yet. git-svn-id: file:///usr/local/projects/SUN/JOGL/git-svn/svn-server-sync/jogl/trunk@1075 232f8b59-042b-4e1e-8c03-345bb8c30851
