Using GLUT might not be a bad idea.  The existing .NET OpenGL binding 
is almost certainly wgl specific, which would be a problem when the 
platform-dependent module you need to poke is glX or CGL.  I think GLUT 
runs everywhere MWF does, although I don't remember what its license is 
like, so that might be an issue.
