Hi Yuan,

I've added your OSMesa platform to OpenGL-ctypes bzr head.  The patch 
was trivially modified so that the changes that would make OSMesa the 
only platform were removed, but I don't yet have anything written to 
make it easy to choose a platform to use for a given program.  I'm 
thinking of using something on the order of os.environ.get( 
"PYOPENGL_PLATFORM") where that value being set to a platform key would 
override the default choice.

Thanks,
Mike
