I was just fiddling about with some GLUT stuff, and had cause to look at the 
FL/glut.H header file.
(Specifically, I was thinking about trying to "enhance" our font support for GL 
with Xft, since Xft does not easily generate bitmapped fonts in XFT2 and later, 
and we pass the font bitmap to GL for our GL fonts - I wondered if using the 
glut stroke fonts and not Xft might be a better solution...)

Anyway, the header comment states:

// FLTK does not include the GLUT drawing functions (such as
// glutWireTeapot()) or the stroke fonts but the declarations for the
// drawing functions are included here because otherwise there is no
// way to get them along with this.  To use them you will have to
// link in the original GLUT library, put -lglut *after* -lfltk.

And it occured to me that, since Mike added the free-glut stuff into fltk, that 
really is not true anymore. Is that something worth fixing before we get to 
1.1.8?
