[HOpenGL] HOpenGL without GLUT

Hi Sven,

I thought about extending my gtk2hs with OpenGL functionality. I know that 
you did some work for gtk+hs which had a special GtkGLArea widget which 
probably embedded a GLUT window. There is new functionality for Gtk 
version 2 which seems to just add 3D rendering to normal widgets:

At least the few drawing primitives seem to be the same as for HOpenGL.
As such, does that mean HOpenGL is of no use to me at all (in terms of 
code reuse)?

A premature question,
Axel.
