Well, in the win32 and linux glut implementation, the RMB is only
used by the glut menu *when there exists one*. I have not defined
any glut menu - I do not want one - so why there is such? Option
to disable the default menu will be fine, but I would like to be
able to build glElite from single sources without #ifdef PLATFORMs.

My suggestion: have an environment variable to disable the default
stormmesa-glut-menu. Then all mouse buttons were accessible. And if
the program does define it's own menu, then the right mousebutton
will be used for the menu and no longer accessible to program.

This is ok, I have no hurry at all.

Well, the glut in StormMesa. No other glut blocks mousebuttons, no other
glut has default menu - or?

Great - that will solve the problem meanwhile. At the end I will
like to have all three though.
