This message needs to be fixed, especially the part about pointing to 
graphics/libglut.  We did a full exp run as part of this, and fixed all 
ports that failed to build as part of this (with one exception, noted in 
the commit message).  However, there might be problems with the usb code 
as stated above (it is very hard to cover all corner cases).  On the 
other hand, I doubt libglut has better support for USB, since libglut 
hasn't been touched in years.
Regards!
