Yes, I saw that - but 7.9.2 is antiquated.

Mesa still mentions it, but the tarballs and the zip are dated from
April 2012.  FreeGLUT is less old (April 2015).

Some details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeGLUT

Actually, a japanese mirror has older ands newer versions of
MesaGLUT -
http://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/X11/x.org/pub/mesa/older-versions/7.x/
 7.9.2 is actually from 2011, 7.11.2 seems to be the latest release
of MesaGLUT, from November 2011.
