I make the build of FGanel optional if GLEW or GLUT are not found. I
have also add a flag to CMake to disable the build of FGPanel
(-DENABLE_FGPANEL=OFF default ON). It is committed in my branch.

There is a flag in the panel XML file for that:
<game-mode type="bool">true</game-mode>. If you set the flag to false,
the panel should be in a window and not in full screen. This flag has
no effect on the RPI because there is no window in console mode.
