I don't know why I'm getting all of these e-mails now, but it would be 
useful to have a GetAddress function that someone who actually can use 
non-Windows platforms can assure me actually works. So yes, it wouldn't 
be a bad idea to call glfwGetAddress, if it could be called from an 
arbitrary GL context.
