Here's a tiny patch to fix Glut loading on OSX. I've seen a bit of discussion about this in the archives, but its broken in my pull of the repo, so I thought I'd send it in.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but, like an idiot, I didn't actually try any of the examples before sending the patch in. The library does load properly, but quite a bit of stuff (mostly in interface.lisp) assumes the existence of freeglut's extensions (eg, the window close event).
Do any of you think that it's worth it to add the checks necessary to get it running on the Cocoa glut? The problem then would be that there would be no abstraction of whether we support those extensions. If you like the idea, I'd be glad to do the coding...

The window close is absolutely crucial for development, otherwise GLUT will call exit() and kill your Lisp session.

I think it'd be more worthwhile to port FreeGLUT (or one of the other GLUT clones) to Cocoa but I have no idea how feasible that would be. ISTR it'd be hard.
