+Freeglut (OpenSourced alternative to OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT))
+
+GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in
+the second edition OpenGL 'RedBook'. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide
+variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and
+highly portable. GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and
+manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms.
+
+NOTE: This package overwrites libglut.so and glut.h from the mesa package in
+stock Slackware, so be sure to reinstall mesa after removing freeglut.
