Multisampling (FSAA) does not work on ATI cards.

For some reason ATI drivers return empty string for both 
wglGetExtensionsStringEXT and wglGetExtensionsStringARB, so JOGL can not detect 
presence of multisampling capabilities, and FSAA does not work. The same code 
works fine on NVidia cards.

Other programs (Realtech VR OpenGL extension viewer and NeHe Lesson #46) show 
that multisampling extensions are there and are able to use them.

After detalied investigation, I found that the problem caused by call to 
wglGetExtensionsStringARB outside of GLEventListener methods. Moving request of 
WGL extension string to init(...) method of GLEventListener associated with 
dummyGL solves problem.

Suggested solution is: create additional map [device -> extensions string] in 
WindowsGLContextFactory, fill it in init(...) method of GLEventListener 
associated with dummyGL, and in 
WindowsGLContext.choosePixelFormatAndCreateContext(...) use value from this map 
instead of calling wglGetExtensionsStringARB directly.

See patch attached.

Thanks for the patch. It has been applied to the CVS repository and will show up
in the next nightly build as well as the next release build.
