+ with the GL1-based Fl_OpenGL_Graphics_Driver. The solution implemented here
+ is to create, with public function fl_mac_prepare_add_widgets_to_GL3_win(),
+ an additional Fl_Gl_Window placed above and sized as the GL3-based window,
+ to give it a non opaque, GL1-based context, and to put the FLTK widgets
