Yep. The best route is to use/contribute to GLUT or 'freeglut' because
then improvements can be shared with everyone.  But if you want a quick
fix for windows...

GLUT is such a simple API that it's a snap to implement yourself if
you don't think it's fast enough.  I used Ryan's code here
	http://members.home.com/borealis/gldemo.c
to implement GLUT for windows.  Ryan only uses 16 bitsPerPixel and
16 bits for zbuffer.  He also changes the task priority to get more
frame rate.  It doubled my frame rate.  Ryan knows all the tricks.
