opengl-1.1.0-7 glut.h does not define wchar_t

[Philip Lamb <phil at rave dot co dot nz>]

Hello,

The changes to <GL/glu.h> in w32api-2.5 expose a problem with the 
glut.h in opengl-1.1.0-7 package, file <GL/glut.h>. The problem is 
that whcar_t is now required to be defined by 
/usr/include/w32api/GL/glu.h, however glut.h does not do so.

I'm not sure where the _best_ place to put a definition is; for 
myself I have put it at line 153 of glut.h. Others may wish to do so 
too, and perhaps a patch to the opengl package is in order if other 
more knowledgeable folks concur.

153,156d152
< # ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED
< typedef unsigned short wchar_t;
< #  define _WCHAR_T_DEFINED
< # endif

The only other workaround I can see is adding an #include <windows.h> 
before every #include <GL/glut.h> which is neither elegant nor in the 
spirit of GLUT's philosophy of hiding platform dependencies.
