Removing ALUT would be a pain. I have one fix - I used the freealut sources to make a custom ALUT.framework, which works pretty well. I have to make some extra Simgear hacks to look for alut.h in <ALUT/ alut.h> instead of <OpenAL/alut.h>, however. Tat (who builds the macflightgear.org releases) uses a different solution - he just replaces the alut.h in his OpenAL framework with the alut.h from the freealut distribution. Both ways work, and neither has any particular advantage or disadvantage over the other. I can send you my framework and simgear diffs if you like, and you can try Tat's approach yourself straight away (I think) - since you have already grabbed the freealut sources. And yes, it's all a bit of a mess.
