OpenGL 3 on OSX #953

Description

@auriamg

version 130 in shaders causes trouble on OSX.

Apparently on OSX when creating the GL canvas, one must explicitely request it to support OpenGL 3 :

When you request your pixel format using one of the lower-level APIs on OS X, you need to add the following to your attribute list in order to use a core profile:

CGL:

  kCGLPFAOpenGLProfile,     kCGLOGLPVersion_3_2_Core

NSOpenGL:

  NSOpenGLPFAOpenGLProfile, NSOpenGLProfileVersion3_2Core

OS X is different, it does not support compatibility profiles.
You either get the legacy OpenGL 2.1 implementation or the core 3.2 (3.3/4.1 in OS X 10.9) implementation
but you can never mix-and-match features from both.
Furthermore, unless you modify your code to ask for a core
profile, you will be limited to OpenGL 2.1 by default.
