Thanks for keeping me in the loop guys, but the topic has changed vastly
from the orignal "outdated content on the website" topic.

So you dont have to CC me, I'm on the list, and everytime I see "Web Site"
I start reading it so I'll take this opportunity to ask about the rest of
the stuff on the resources page:

GLUT 3.7 Header and Library

GLU 1.2 Header and Library (from Mesa 3.3)

Utility and Sample Programs (from Mesa 3.3)

Glide3 Headers and Library (from 3dfx)

Is all of this stuff up to date, doesnt need a newer version or any such thing?
