Yes - although PLIB still works without that check.

As a desperation measure, you could comment out the entire contents of
glIsValidContext() and have it just return TRUE for OSX...the only reason
I dislike that as a solution is that this is a check for an annoyingly common
application error that *seems* like it's a PLIB error.  Without that check,
we get lots of hard-to-diagnose errors reported to this mailing list that
are not really our fault.
 
Does OSX still use the 'agl' calls like earlier Mac's - or is it truly using
X-windows and hence *must* support glX calls (and therefore should have glx.h) ?
