It means that OpenGLContext will use, in order of preference, pygame,
wxPython, GLUT and Tk on your machine.  There's a mechanism to allow you
to override that for your machine, but it's probably the correct order
for most users who are just planning to test the code.  Pygame is the
most-tested and well supported context, wx is very close, but has a few
long-standing bugs with multiple contexts.  GLUT works fine, and is a
good fallback, while Tk is pretty much not ready for prime-time due to
my not really caring all that much about it.

The log message really is just an "info" level thing, just telling you
what the context preference order is.

HTH,
Mike
