Luis,

I tried to use the glut image viewer that you are piecing together.  I hit upon the following issues:

1.	Developer Studio .Net does not include glut in the default installation.  I didn't have my
CD's with me last night to see if it is somewhere on the installation disk.  However, given MS's
relationship with OpenGL, I would not be surprised if they no longer distribute glut.
2.	I downloaded a win32 binary installation of glut. FindGLUT.cmake of course did not find my
new installation, so I told CMakeSetup where the glut.lib was.  Unfortunately, the binary
installation of glut is just a directory with  "glut.h", "glut.lib", and a "glut.dll".  So when
GlutMaster tries to include "GL/glut.h" is cannot find glut.h because the header is not in a
subdirectory "GL".
3.	I don't think my FindGLUT.cmake file sets ups a variable for the defining where the include
directory for glut.h would be on a win32 system.
4.	FindGLUT.cmake defines GLUT_LIBRARY but your CMakeLists.txt file references GLUT_LIBRARIES

 After this I lost interest and went about using VTK to view my images.
