This is true - but turning it on globally anti-aliases the scratchpad
text and polygons, as well, making it all look nicer when smaller.
Dave's suggestion is to make it a commandline argument, so that's
probably best, because the flag needs to be set when the GLUT window
is first created (unless I'm mistaken)
The downside is that this is all done in hardware, and dependent on
the graphics card. So it's a bit of a shot in the dark, although it
looks nice on my old macbook pro.

are you sure it does not do anything? it works with lines only as
far as i can tell.
(clear)
(hint-none)
(hint-wire)
(hint-anti-alias)
(build-cube)
this is even working on a gma950 macbook, so it should work on
yours also.
multisampling works globally, but i'm not sure how it is
implemented in glut. it does not even seem to be documented. i
agree that it would be more useful as a command line option.
