It's an OpenGL commit. Does it fix the problem in GLUT?

On a special branch in the repo maybe?

These are probably not controversial.

Maybe you could put them in a library called something like
OpenGL-common and then in the .cabal file do:

flag haskell-platform

if haskell-platform:
   build-depends: OpenGL-common
   cpp-options: -DHASKELL_PLATFORM
else
   build-depends: StateVar, ObjectName, Tensor

And in the source:

#ifdef HASKELL_PLATFORM
import Graphics.OpenGL.Common.StateVar
#else
import Data.StateVar
#endif

Granted, it'll add some noise to the import section and you'll also
have to do a release of OpenGL-common each time you update one of
these packages (though it doesn't look like they are updated that
often), but I think it will be less controversial this way.
