mesaglut (libglut.*)'s development has been stalled for most of the decade, with work having entirely moved to the freeglut fork. it doesn't have any users in src or pkgsrc any more so is mostly hanging around doing nothing (there are no users in src, and i switched everything in pkgsrc to use freeglut a while ago). if i was to make it no longer build as part of the X sets would it be stepping on anyone's toes? there might be a slim chance someone built a bespoke application on top of this library for netbsd, but i think it's more likely it was included because it used to be developed as a mesa component and no longer is. but then, do we want freeglut in xsrc? it should be a drop-in replacement but i suspect nobody cares. it's another library for making using opengl platform neutral and there's a bunch of more popular ones to choose from (sdl, glfw, allegro, etc)
