I stuck a very minimal implementation of this at
<URL:http://www.gg.caltech.edu/~monty/glu-hack.tgz>
if anyone wants it slightly more conveniently (i386, woody).
As an aside, it works fine with the SGI openinventor release, although
I also had to make a symlink for it to find lesstif (well, I lied and
made it use lesstif1 when it wants lesstif2, but it doesn't seem to
care.)
Good work Branden!
