Ick.  Every GLUT program I've seen uses #include <GL/glut.h>.  If that 
doesn't work on Darwin, someone screwed up there.

Perhaps a work-around for Chromium would be to make symlinks to 
Darwin's gl.h, glut.h, etc in Chromium's cr/include/GL directory.

That way, #include <GL/gl.h> and <GL/glut.h> could be satisfied by 
Chromium's include/GL directory.

Could the symlinks be automatically made during Chromium's build process?
