You have to edit your "resource file" which is included in the
Windows compilation and add an icon named "GLUT_ICON" there.
(I guess there are different ways for doing this, but that
is what I did with VC++)

(Mesa) GLUT does soemthing similar, but if it does not
find the GLUT_ICON in executable it checks glut32.dll also.
I guess that is the place where the OpenGL logo comes from.

I haven't tried the (Mesa / original) GLUT for a while,
but the change I did in freeglut enabled me to get my
icon on the program title and made me happy.

I know this all is horribly platform specific, but I submitted
it in the name of "GLUT-classic compatibility" ;-)
