You can have as many pfPipes as you like. Each gets it's own window
and graphics context. They don't share texture storage and all gl
modes are independent.

Running multiple pipes on single-CPU systems is an important ability;
it lets you verify that your program is multiprocessing-capable and
has not violated any of the IRIS Performer MP guidelines.
