Changes:
* You can now control program behavior when a GLUT window is closed by
the user, rather than simply exiting. Options include:
o Immediate exit() (old GLUT behavior)
o glutMainLoop() returns to you
o continue execution
* Option to share a rendering context for each new window
* Interruptable glutMainLoop (glutMainLoopEvent, glutLeaveMainLoop)
* Window-specific callback functions (Close, WindowManager Close, Menu
destruction)
* User-specified data in Windows and Menus
* Additional font statistics (stroke and bitmap heights...)
* New font functions to allow the user to print strings instead of one
character at a time
* New primitives (RhombicDodecahedron, SierpinskiSponge)
* Good-looking menus
freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL
Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by
Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition
OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety
of practical applications because it is simple, universally available
and highly portable.
