Summary0016045: OS X system GLUT should always be preferred to X11's
DescriptionThe Homebrew "bottle" build server happens to have X11 installed, but we'd prefer not to force an unnecessary X11 dependency on users. However, by default gl2ps will automatically link against X11's libglut.dylib if X11 happens to be installed. Therefore, I'm having to pass "-DGLUT_glut_LIBRARY=/System/Library/Frameworks/GLUT.framework" to cmake to avoid creating bottles that break on systems without X11. It would be nice if gl2ps used the system GLUT by default even if X11 happens to be installed without our having to manually intervene.

This is caused by cmake's find_package(GLUT) which prefers X11's GLUT to the system GLUT if X11 happens to be installed. Instead CMake should always using the system GLUT unless someone deliberately intervenes to choose X11's, regardless of whether X11 is installed or not installed.
Steps To ReproduceUse find_package(GLUT) on a system that happens to have Xquartz (X11) installed.
