Comment (by panne):

 If I read this ticket correctly, the problem is how to tell Cabal where
 the GLUT header and library are, right? Autoconf has a well-defined set of
 environment variables to deal with such cases, see
 http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/Preset-Output-
 Variables.html. As I see it, this is a Cabal bug, because it doesn't pass
 the additional paths in autoconf variables, even when the build type is
 "Configure". So I'm inclined to close this ticket. Any comments?

 Removing autoconf from the OpenGL/GLUT/OpenAL/ALUT packages is a different
 story and not something for the near future, I think. See
