[PD-dev] any way to use GLUT in external

[Nose Hair]

I am trying to write an external that uses glut.  But I have hit a  
stumbling block. I am not able to use glutMainLoop without entering  
into some king of cpu sucking vortex that halts all Pd functions.  I  
know this is a problem with the way Pd/tkl handles events.  Has  
anyone figure out a simple way around this?  I tried to look at the  
Gem source code but there is too much going on in there for me to get  
a simple solution.  Is there a straight forward solution out there?

Thanks,
Alain
