Re: crfaker fix

There must be _some_ WGL function being called before glViewport.  At 
least wglMakeCurrent() must be called to bind a rendering context. 
Otherwise, the glViewport call is invalid.

We can call stubInit() from all the wgl/glx functions in the faker. 
It returns immediately if it's been called before.
