At some point, someone managed to contact Mark, and got a statement
allowing to modify and distribute libglut out of him:

	     http://www.fifi.org/doc/glutg3-dev/copyright

But unfortunately Mark didn't respond to my inquiry regarding the
docs. :/

If you can (legally) do so, that would be fine!  Otherwise I'd have to
pull HOpenGL from Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/171151 , for
reference).


Cheers,
Michael
