Replying to [comment:1 guest]:
> Installing GLUT along with the default Windows install sounds like
overkill - something like Gtk2hs is probably more commonly installed, and
isn't bundled. Perhaps the real problem is the difficulty in installing
GLUT separately, which can be remedied by a separate installer.

Speaking for myself (and who else could I speak for!) I've always rather
enjoyed the fact that haskell comes with a working openGL installation
out-of-the-box, and I think it would be sad if that is true on some
platforms but not others...
I do take your point about commonness of use, though.
