[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] OGLGraphicsConfig

[Chris Campbell]

It's package-private because it's only accessed within the  
sun.java2d.opengl package, and in general we strive to reduce the  
visibility of classes/interfaces.  The concrete GLX/WGL  
implementations also live in that package, so there was no reason to  
make it public.

There's probably no harm in making that interface public.  If you want  
to submit a patch, feel free.

Thanks,
Chris
