It is the job of the code that drives Cycles to provide an OpenGL
context. For the stand-alone application this code is in
util/util_view.cpp [1]. In the case of Blender, well, it is Blender
managing the OpenGL context.

For instance with CCSycles one could use OpenTK to create a window
with an OpenGL context.
