GLUT absolutely wants to run an infinite loop, otherwise it will not give

That must have been what kept me from using it as well.
though it's not true.
you can run the glut loop yourself (e.g. Gem/src/Output/gemglutwindow.cpp)
glutMainLoopEvent is Linux-only.
glutCheckLoop is OSX-only.
thus neither exists on Win32.
the GLUT 3 standard does not have anything for that.
much of the point of GLUT is so that GL-application writers have a
portable layer.
there has to be reasons why Gem/src/Output also contains
gemcocoawindow.mm, gemglxwindow.cpp, gemmacwindow.cpp and
gemw32window.cpp.
thus it's quite simplistic to say "it's not true".
