Support FreeBSD
These changes add support for the FreeBSD platform, and perhaps make it slightly easier to support other X11 platforms in the future.
Technically the only change required would have been to trick the library into treating FreeBSD as Linux, however I also took the step to rename the platform specific files into interface specific ones, and then properly added another symbol to represent the new platform and reused the existing X11 specific GLX interface file.
In theory we could do the same for OpenBSD and NetBSD et. al., or even do a generic BSD platform; however, I do not have those platforms to test with and I figured this was a good start.
Thank you for submitting an interesting feature addition.
I've been quite busy lately, so it may take some time before I can start reviewing.
If possible, could you provide instructions on how to run OpenGL apps on FreeBSD to verify this PR's functionality? At present, I have never had FreeBSD run on my machines. I would like to check by running FreeBSD as a virtual machine on Windows.
That is a good thought, I will see what I can do this weekend. My only evidence is 'works for me' :). I will see if I can get the samples going under a VM as well, and maybe will have the opportunity to try (and document) the process with OpenBSD and NetBSD as well.
