Comment (by panne):
If I read this ticket correctly, the problem is how to tell Cabal where
the GLUT header and library are, right? Autoconf has a well-defined set of
environment variables to deal with such cases, see
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Preset-Output-
Variables.html. As I see it, this is a Cabal bug, because it doesn't pass
the additional paths in autoconf variables, even when the build type is
"Configure". So I'm inclined to close this ticket. Any comments?
Removing autoconf from the OpenGL/GLUT/OpenAL/ALUT packages is a different
story and not something for the near future, I think. See
