Well.  Duh.  (^&

Why do you think I've been applying such an extremely light touch to
the style issues?  I'd have changed 90% or more of the lines if I were
forcing my own personal style.

Instead, I've merely attempted to enforce what seem to be the common
themes of freeglut style (even though I disagree with some of them)
so that there *is* a *single* style.

Frankly, when I first looked at the freeglut source code, I retched.
It was a terrible mess (mostly due to wild, random indentation
that would change for no visible reason sometimes without even
entering/leaving a block of code).

The changes that I've made have generally been to select existing
style components that were widely used in freeglut already---even
if I do not always care for those components.  I have tried to
select for what seems majority practices in style in general (unless
there is a lack of clear majority or overpowering pragmatic reasons).
