Just installed from ZIP. Errata:

1. In dvx/lib there is a freeglut.zip from which freeglut.dll should be 
extracted. Won't happen again.

2. Look for load of freeglut.dll from hard-coded "D:/dvx/lib".

3. Also look for hard-coded loads of opengl32 and glu32 from "/winnt". 
That's "/windows" on other wins, lord knows what on other oses. The bad 
news here is that uffi:load-library seems not to mind at all if it is 
asked to load a non-existent library, so the first sign of trouble is a 
runtime erorr something like "glClearColor? what the hell is that?"

4. ACL users: because the handling of the project files is such a 
phenomenal PITA, I get "opengl-bindings" package not found because after 
I change the defpackage inside the LPR (it's just source) to:

    (defpackage :opengl-bindings...)

ACL changes it back to common-graphics whenever it feels like it. :) I 
would tell you the fix if I knew one, but in the past I just turn a few 
hundred monkeys trying things at random until it works, and then I never 
know which monkey fixed it nor certainly what they did to fix it.
