fabric-engine/JSSceneGraph — Issue #208: OpenGL appears to fail when absolutely no OpenGL is available

At least, this is what appears to be going on...

Steps:
- Create new Parallels OS X virtual machine but *don't* install the Parallels Tools on the VM
- The Parallels Tools, among other things, installs the "virtual" OpenGL driver
- Load a Fabric scene from demos.fabric-engine.com

Expected:
- A pop-up appears telling the user that the machine doesn't meet minimal OpenGL requirements

Actual:
- Blank browser Window for first scene, browser hang for second scene (Firefox)
- If you run the right demo, there's a GLEW error ("no OpenGL version string" or something like that) on the Terminal if you run the browser from the Terminal

Assigning to Phil for triage. This bug probably happens on any machine that doesn't support OpenGL, but that's a guess.
