the free opengl libraries (mesagl) were ported long time ago without
any of the optimizations. they were never tied to the windowing
environment however. glut was never ported, nor was a replacement for
it ever written.

it is a good exercise in Plan 9 and it's doable within the APE
framework, so not too big of an effort. making it fast though is much
more difficult :(
