Yep.

Actually, we should probably step back and think a bit more about that.  When
you turn on multisampling, there is generally a choice as to the number of
subsamples - and sometimes other qualitative parameters.

Perhaps we should change it to some kind of enumeration such that zero means
"no multisampling", one means "best possible multisampling" and other values
could be added later.   This would keep existing programs working - but allow
for more fancy stuff later.
