GLUT isn't really the right abstraction for removing the X dependency
from libgstgl.  gstgldisplay.c is itself an abstraction layer for
handling GLX connections, which could easily be expanded to include
other backends.  I'm not hugely familiar with GLUT, but I'm pretty
sure there are a number of things that gstgldisplay does (or should
do) that are not handled by GLUT.  In fact, everything except opening
and connection and creating a window.

I'd be happy to look at a patch, though.
