Yes, Cygwin is on the PATH of the PPM build machines.  I've just updated
the code to temporarily remove it while actually building and testing the
modules, and have manually forced a rebuild of OpenGL.  It now does indeed
build with the FREEGLUT interface.  Builds succeeded for Perl 5.8 and
Perl 5.10 in 32-bit Perl, but failed for 64-bit (we only build 5.10 in 64 bit).
I have not further investigated why it fails for 64-bit; I assume this
is a limitation of the module itself.

The updated OpenGL packages and build logs should be visible on the external
repo in another day or so; please double check that everything is fine now.

Cheers,
