If the comment is about glutSetKeyRepeat - then the comment may originally
have been mine (on the grounds that it doesn't work under GLUT-classic on
anything other than Windows).

However, the comment in the code isn't mine - and the comment on glutIgnoreKeyRepeat
is (IMHO) incorrect because glutIgnoreKeyRepeat works under all OS's in GLUT
and freeglut (or so I thought).

I say we continue to deprecate glutSetKeyRepeat - and bless glutIgnoreKeyRepeat
as 'The Right Thing'.
