GLUT (pronounced like the glut in gluttony) is the OpenGL Utility
Toolkit, a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL
programs. It implements a simple windowing application programming
interface (API) for OpenGL. GLUT makes it considerably easier to learn
about and explore OpenGL programming.  GLUT provides a portable API so
you can write a single OpenGL program that works on both Win32 PCs and
X11 workstations.
