WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile is sufficient for creating an ES2 context
WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile is sufficient for creating an ES2 context. WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile is not required, as WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile supercedes it.

Hi Emil,
I went through the new patches and they look good AFAICT. Thanks for doing this.
While going through "wgl: fully support ARB_create_context and EXT_create_context_es_profile." again I noticed a couple of issues with the usage of WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile that I hadn't noticed before because I wasn't familiar with the extension:
WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile ignored the opengl version, but WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile will create any version requested in.
I believe one must set WGL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION_ARB/WGL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION_ARB when requesting ES contexts or one will always get a ES 1.0 > context.
It's OK to assume that WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile then WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile is supported, but not the other way around.
This is because WGL_EXT_create_context_es_profile ignored the version
See "Revision History" at the bottom of https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/wgl_create_context_es2_profile.txt for details.
Anyway, this is nor urgent -- it can be fixed in a follow on patch.
