Cool, now I'm faced with the dilemma of which version to distribute for
OS X. I guess it's better to assume the user hasn't replaced the default
GLUT library.

Somewhere in this thread there was a whole list of bugs with the keyboard
and the mouse. I don't think the shift key worked in the old GLUT,
and there were some problems with the STEP commands. I think the old
GLUT made it do two STEPs for the price of one...

I think the old OS X glut may have put that on the menu bar. It's
nothing special, and I've actually been working on replacing the menus
with something better for the next release.

I really don't know what to do with this except to perhaps point it out
from the ldglite web page. I assume it builds replacement shared library
that doesn't require you to rebuild ldglite. Would a binary and a
script file to install it help? Does the Mac come with a packaging system
that could automate an install? Can we get a binary from the Darwin or
Fink projects? I've got lots of questions, but no answers.
