With regards to the error, quoting from 
http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/spec3/node90.html

"GLUT has no special routine for exiting the program. GLUT programs should use
ANSI C's  exit routine. If a program needs to perform special operations before
quitting the program, use the ANSI C    onexit routine to register exit
callbacks. GLUT will exit the program unilaterally when fatal errors occur or
when the window system requests the program to terminate. For this reason,
avoid calling any GLUT routines within an exit callback."

Thus this is entirely a glut limitation, and I don't think that we should drop
GLUT support for this reason. GLUT is a convenient first foray into OpenGL
programming.


Changelog:
* Fri May 02 2009 <mycae(a!t)yahoo.com> 1.8.1-1
- Update to 1.8.1
