Hmm, It looks like NVIDIA's driver does report WGL_EXT_swap_control with 
glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i).  That's really weird.  Is that what 
Intel's Windows driver does?

Doing that is actually counter to the extension spec for 
WGL_EXT_swap_control which says:

"""
Dependencies on WGL_EXT_extensions_string

     Because there is no way to extend wgl, these calls are defined in
     the ICD and can be called by obtaining the address with
     wglGetProcAddress.  Because this extension is a WGL extension, it
     is not included in the GL_EXTENSIONS string.  Its existence can be
     determined with the WGL_EXT_extensions_string extension.

     For historical reasons, GL_EXT_SWAP_CONTROL is also included in the
     GL_EXTENSIONS string as return from glGetString.
"""

I believe the last sentence should read "GL_EXT_swap_control" and not 
"GL_EXT_SWAP_CONTROL".  The spec for GL_EXT_swap_control make a vague 
reference to a shortcoming in the WGL extension querying mechanism so 
I'm not sure what the whole store is there.  NVIDIA's driver does not 
support GL_EXT_swap_control AFAICT.

In any case, I think your patch is OK, but let's please put a comment in 
to the effect of:

/* Note: normally, glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) should only return
  * "core" OpenGL extension strings and not window system (WGL/GLX)
  * extensions.  However, NVIDIA's and Intel's Windows drivers include
  * WGL_EXT_swap_control in the core extensions list.  This is a special
  * case for that.
