BTW =3D By The Way (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btw)

Also, I think you need to understand a couple of things:

1) GLUT was created as a way to get into OpenGL quickly as setting up
a window and getting
contexts working is not exactly easy and generally time consuming and
people really want
to play with GL from the outset.

2) Nobody really uses GLUT anymore since SDL was invented.

3) Lumen is not just a UI toolkit, but is a replacement for GLUT and
others in that ilk as
well. Lumen will provide the windowing functionality that GLUT/SDL
provides.

If you want to talk about Lumen or ask any questions, come to #Ada on
Freenode and hang about
longer than 2 mins if you want a response :D
