The brokenness I referred to stemmed from the fact that it calls
glGetString before a context has been created (unless you are only
supposed to call it after creating a context, but that seems rather
weird since afaik you create a context for a particular OpenGL version).

If you first create a context and it then still returns false, it may
also mean that you did not create the context properly.
