Summary: Patch to support AGL_BACKING_STORE on mac builds

Initial Comment:
I added an enum and code to support the use of AGL_BACKING_STORE for mac builds. It appears that OpenGL handling of backing buffers changes in Leopard and people may need this flag.

I read somewhere that a similar flag should be implemented for Vista, but I don't know enough about linux or windows (XP or Vista) to implement it for those OSes.

Is this related to AGL_DOUBLEBUFFER in any way? I don't really understand
what this patch does and whether we can use PFD_SWAP_COPY or
PFD_SWAP_EXCHANGE under Windows to achieve the same effect.

Also, we really, really need to document this flag in
docs/latex/wx/glcanvas.tex as otherwise nobody will ever know about it.
Could you please do it?

TIA!
