Good. I already have an updated libglut32.a ready to add to my package.
I'll update slightly after you do.
 
opengl-1.1.0-10 will have libglut32.a . 
 
If all this can be done quickly (before, say Dec. 17th), I will also remove
glut32.lib , as (hopefuly) few developers would have updated to opengl-1.1.0-9 .

I don't know what was the purpose of /usr/lib/w32api/libglut.a, but it was
not conflicting with the opengl package. But, according to:
 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-12/msg00017.html
 
It is conflicting with the libglut-devel package, which includes
/usr/lib/libglut.a , so it would be better to remove /usr/lib/w32api/libglut.a .
