But at least it would make things for the user as easy as copy <SomeWellDocumentedPlaceInTheHP>\glut32.dll . or copy <SomeWellDocumentedPlaceInTheHP>\glut32.dll %WINDOWS%\system32 > In practise for the specific case of the glut32.dll, it seems like not a > great problem because most users have it already (from their graphics > driver). [...] I don't know where this myth comes from, but the GLUT DLL is *not* included in graphics card drivers, at least not in NVIDIA's. I don't know the situation for ATI cards, but it doesn't really matter, because when the market leader doesn't do it, it is a moot point discussing this further.
