Done.

That's on my 'ToDo' list.

Er - OK - I've merged this stuff in.

Wouldn't it just be easier to put GLUT in the right place?

I have no idea - autoconf/automake is a Black Art as
far as I'm concerned.  Touching configure.in is *scarey*!

Anyway, I've added the new stuff - with fingers crossed  :-)

<time passes>
<*lots* of time passes>

Well, waddayaknow?  It screws up under Linux.

It seems that with this line in configure.in:

       CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$x_includes"

...causes PLIB modules to compile with:

       -I/usr/X11R6/include

...which causes the *wierdest* symptoms....

c++  -g -O2 -O6 -Wall  -o tuxkart  start_tuxkart.o tuxkart.o gfx.o material.o gui.o status.o sound.o utils.o isect.o guNet.o loader.o guClock.o Track.o Driver.o Herring.o Explosion.o KartDriver.o Traffic.o PlayerDriver.o AutoDriver.o Projectile.o  -lplibsl -lplibssg -lplibpu -lplibfnt -lplibsg -lglut -lGLU -lGL   -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM -lICE -lpthread -lX11 -lXi -lXext -lXmu  -lm
Herring.o: In function `HerringInstance type_info function':
/u/tuxkart/src/Herring.cxx(.text+0x941): undefined reference to `ssgVtxTable::ssgVtxTable(GLenum, ssgVertexArray *, ssgNormalArray *, ssgTexCoordArray *, ssgColourArray *)'
Herring.o: In function `Shadow::Shadow(float, float, float, float)':
/u/tuxkart/src/Herring.cxx:84: undefined reference to `ssgVtxTable::ssgVtxTable(GLenum, ssgVertexArray *, ssgNormalArray *, ssgTexCoordArray *, ssgColourArray *)'                                                                              

...I can't understand why that should possibly be. Compiled without /usr/X11R6/include, everything
works OK?!??!

However, PLIB doesn't *need* any files from /usr/X11R6/include - so for now I'm committing
your change but with the offending line commented out - until we can figure WTF is going on.
