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 :)
