No - early versions of TuxKart used GLUT - but I got sick of
Windows users whining that it wasn't installed on their systems and
that the BeOS version of GLUT was utterly braindead.  Hence, PLIB now
includes a very simple windowing library which includes all the important=

bits of GLUT that most games actually need and none of the junk that it
doesn't need.

PW uses the convention that passing '-1' as the window width/height
will make it fill the screen.

So, on startup:

   pwInit ( 0, 0, -1, -1, FALSE, "TuxKart", FALSE, 0 ) ;

=2E..or later...

   pwSetSizeOrigin ( 0, 0, -1, -1 ) ;

=2E..there isn't a mechanism to turn the borders on and off once the
window is opened.

PW is the windowing library that comes with PLIB:
