        Edit Glut.cf: remove any Mesa references.
        Replace any -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU with -lGL -lGLU if needed.
        In particular, replace:
                OPENGL = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGL.so
                GLU = $(TOP)/../lib/libMesaGLU.so
        with:
                OPENGL = -lGL
                GLU = -lGLU
