I'm wondering why autocad installer needs opengl at all... at least, with
autocad2005 the installer doesn't do graphics at all.
Maybe it just asks for opengl info to set up display configuration... and maybe
on windows it doesn't crash even with no gl context active, as does on linux.

But imho the proposed solution should be good... in glGetString() call
documentation there's no hint on valid opengl context.

Maybe a good thing would be to code a small test app and run on windows, to see
if it crashes too or the error is silently ignored.

OTOH, you patch does no harm, just avoiding a crash that would otherwise
occurr, so i guess it could be added for 1.0 !

Ciao
