 This is really a bug in GLUT but GLUT doesn't have a bug tracker yet it
 seems. Grr.

 The ./configure script for GLUT does not notice the include dirs for GHC's
 mingw installation on Windows. See http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-
 cafe/2009-April/059883.html

 Setting env vars makes it work for the configure script but presumably the
 base package or the rts already specifies this path. If we were doing this
 directly in Cabal or the Setup.hs then presumably it'd work. It'd be
 really good to get rid of the ./configure script so that this kind of
 thing just works without having to set env vars. Alternatively perhaps
 Cabal should set these env vars when it calls configure.
