I understand your objection, and I have tried to think of simple ways to
make it work with the more standard glut. Although it would be nice to
run out of the box with whatever glut happens to be installed, I think
the extra complexity of having to deal with writing a whole separate
program and piping the terminal information back and forth, would
seriously outweigh the advantages of the slightly wider audience.

I think the availability/portability of freeglut is sufficient that a
large portion of people who want to try it will be able to, and until it
actually does something that the x11 interface doesn't it wont be a
major loss for anybody who can't.
