There isn't one, but it's something that we talked about doing.  I guess 
nobody got the motivation to do it.  That may partially be because we 
weren't sure how we wanted it to operate.  glxinfo already dumps quite a 
pile of info.  Should we make it dump information for both core and 
compatibility?  What about ES?  etc.
