You mean when freeglut calls exit(0) or exit(1) itself, rather then on exit 
from the mainLoop? I perfectly agree with this plan.

This already happens after the automatic deinitialization at the end of the 
mainLoop, though via assertions (the current window becomes null and some 
assertion fails) only. We need a clear flag which says whether freeglut is 
running and also a way to inquire about it.
