AFAICT, mesa is just redistributing the original GLUT. This reached
version 3.7 in 1998 or something, and hasn't been updated since. 

Freeglut and openglut exist because the non-free license of the original
prevents modified versions to be distributed.

I don't think its fair to criticise Debian for their choice, and it
certainly isn't them that is being "incompatible". Its my code that
doesn't work with your system.
