CVS ignores empty directories, while checking out. This can be resolved 
by adding a README, log or other simple text file ;)
Note, that you add the -p option while updating, so that CVS creates the 
new directory in your local copy.

One could set the local /etc/ld.so.conf to point to the GL directory, or 
make it an option in the makefile and cpp / h files as #ifdefs. This had 
an advantage, as there exists at least 2 OpenGL implementations.
I'd prefer to have one header file, where such unclear dependencies, or 
at choice all external "non-standard" libraries could be included and 
this one had to be included in the project files. This would reduce 
those changes, #ifdefs ,... to one place in one file.
