I'm still investigating. This time I used RM_PIPE_WGL which forces
OpenRM to create the OpenGL context.

When using RM_PIPE_WGL, rmPipeSetContext has to be called or the
window remains blank.

However, rmPipeSetContext has to be called using hwnd. (I pass the
result of CreateWindow to rmPipeSetContext).

I fact, calling rmPipeSetContext using hwnd and not hglrc makes sense
as I'm not sure how to get hold of hglrc when OpenRM creates the
OpenGL context internally using RM_PIPE_WGL.
