I agree with Stefan's revision.

I tested freeglut a lot, and it works for me linking with glut32, and I am not
sure why. Otherwise, the application does not display anything when run in
windows.

But I have mingw with gcc 3.4.2 installed on my windows box with some
additional packages, such as CGAL, which make it difficult for me to upgrade to
a newer mingw right now (CGAL requires a lot of other packages). Maybe this
cause some incompatibilities with the code generated in Fedora (gcc-4.3.2).

I also used mingw32-freeglut and a mingw32-glui, I packaged myself,
and it is also working just fine for cross-compiling opengl applications: 

http://orion.lcg.ufrj.br/RPMS/src/mingw32-glui-2.35-1.fc10.src.rpm

I tried to package freglut 2.4.0, but there were so many errors that
I gave up.

Therefore, unless Richard has anything else to say, I believe it is better to
include mingw32-freeglut in Fedora the way it is, so people can cross-compile
and report any issues.
