GL_RENDERER: GDI Generic
is a pretty good hint (although I guess it might have some acceleration). The
pfd flags are the 'correct' way:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/opengl/ntopnglr_73jm.asp
see PFD_GENERIC_ACCELERATED and PFD_GENERIC_FORMAT
You probably need to do DescribePixelFormat on the chosen PFD number to get the
value of these flags. 
What would be the desired behaviour if we find ourselves running in software
mode ? I could probably make a patch that checks and prints a warning or
something like that. Especially if someone points me at the relevent files.

Also if the code is using windows choosepixelformat (I think it is) that
function has been known to make silly choices. It might even be giving you
software when it doesn't have to.
