Note, from Robert, I took Philippe modifications to Viewer.cpp and reformated them slightly to avoid a double check against getSceneData()!=0 and then rolled
the changes out to CompositeViewer::checkNeedToDoFrame() to ensure that both implementations work the same.
implementations being registered at the same time.
One usage case for this functionality to support usage of Wayland and X11 in the same version of the osgViewer.
As part of the new functionality there is now a osg::GraphicsContext::Traits::windowingSystemPreferrence string
that default to empty, but if defined will ensure that a specific WindowingSystemInterface is utilized when
you do a generic call like osg::createGraphicsContext().
Also implemented is standard proxy object for registering the new contexts and removing them automatically, and
declaration of standard graphicswindow_name() C entry point to help with static build linking.
forcing users to use osgDB::readRef*File() methods. The later is preferable as it closes a potential threading bug when using paging databases in conjunction
with the osgDB::Registry Object Cache. This threading bug occurs when one thread gets an object from the Cache via an osgDB::read*File() call where only
a pointer to the object is passed back, so taking a reference to the object is delayed till it gets reassigned to a ref_ptr<>, but at the same time another
thread calls a flush of the Object Cache deleting this object as it's referenceCount is now zero. Using osgDB::readREf*File() makes sure the a ref_ptr<> is
passed back and the referenceCount never goes to zero.
To ensure the OSG builds when OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE is to OFF the many cases of osgDB::read*File() usage had to be replaced with a ref_ptr<> osgDB::readRef*File()
usage. The avoid this change causing lots of other client code to be rewritten to handle the use of ref_ptr<> in place of C pointer I introduced a serious of
templte methods in various class to adapt ref_ptr<> to the underly C pointer to be passed to old OSG API's, example of this is found in include/osg/Group:
bool addChild(Node* child); // old method which can only be used with a Node*
tempalte<class T> bool addChild(const osg::ref_ptr<T>& child) { return addChild(child.get()); } // adapter template method
These changes together cover 149 modified files, so it's a large submission. This extent of changes are warrent to make use of the Object Cache
and multi-threaded loaded more robust.

I used osgSetGLExtensionsFuncPtr to remove the symbols. I don't know how to test this path, but it did remove the symbols from libosgViewer.so. I have also not been able yet to see if that was sufficient for our customer.
I did this by looking at other cases, and I tried to follow some of the same practices in PixelBufferX11, like using _useSGIX in a similar way to the previous _useGLX1_3."
