This is really a bug in GLUT but GLUT doesn't have a bug tracker yet it
seems. Grr.
The ./configure script for GLUT does not notice the include dirs for GHC's
mingw installation on Windows. See http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-
cafe/2009-April/059883.html
Setting env vars makes it work for the configure script but presumably the
base package or the rts already specifies this path. If we were doing this
directly in Cabal or the Setup.hs then presumably it'd work. It'd be
really good to get rid of the ./configure script so that this kind of
thing just works without having to set env vars. Alternatively perhaps
Cabal should set these env vars when it calls configure.
