At some point in the future, I might further split up the Mesa
distro: main lib, GLU lib, glut, and demos.
People will probably soon switch to the SI GLU library.
GLUT could be mirrored on the Mesa ftp site w/ precompiled libs for
Linux, BSD, etc.
In any case, I don't have time to change this in the near future.
