Agreed, but I do think it should be 'officially' documented somewhere,
because the failure mode is *extremely* confusing. I was dealing with
code that was indirectly dragging in glut.h through two other layers
of library headers, and wasted many hours untangling the mess.
Though I suppose the next person to have the issue will search the OSG
list archives and maybe find this thread. Hello to that person, now
you know what the fix is :)
