Well, anyway, there is *nothing* which prevents to thread unique states
in a Cleanish way. It has to be done (GLUT or no GLUT) while coding some
possible interface. But, of course, the OGl state machine is quite
different from a Functional way of Life, so some conceptual work, and
a lot of tutorials seem necessary if we want that people use it...
