The GLX interface is a rather complex null-terminated vararg list. Better 
would be to use bitflags, and there appears to be a somewhat standard set 
defined by GLUT. They do not cover all the possibilities of GLX but they 
match the real things that can be turned on/off on modern hardware:
(from the header for glut-3.6):

#define GLUT_RGB                        0
#define GLUT_RGBA                       GLUT_RGB
#define GLUT_INDEX                      1
#define GLUT_SINGLE                     0
#define GLUT_DOUBLE                     2
#define GLUT_ACCUM                      4
#define GLUT_ALPHA                      8
#define GLUT_DEPTH                      16
#define GLUT_STENCIL                    32
/* I added another symbol with value 64 to indicate that 24-bit rgb is 
required, and that 12-bit is unacceptable */
#define GLUT_MULTISAMPLE                128
#define GLUT_STEREO                     256
#define GLUT_LUMINANCE                  512
