Thanks for the push... I've been meaning to write up some directions to
put on my site anyway. So, I did. You can find them at
http://wind.prohosting.com/anoved/files/GLUT4.txt (only 2k).
Notice that the directions are not ldraw or ldglite specific - they are
just general directions for installing the updated GLUT on Mac OS X.

Well, most 'regular' users probably don't have the Developer Tools
installed, although they probably do have the Tools CD that came with Mac
OS X. It's been a long time since I've installed them, so I don't remember
how complicated the process is, but it ought not to be complicated at all.
The average user shouldn't have to configure a thing. You hardly need to
deal with them at all, though, to compile the new GLUT... just double
click a project file, click 'build', wait, and then quit.
I would suspect that the next release will be paid, too. If the next
release does include a new GLUT, I would doubt its the exact same one
we're dealing with here, but it certainly could be an improvement. I don't
really know about that.
So yeah... perhaps a precompiled version of the new GLUT with a script to
handle installation is in order?
