Yep, that is one of the reasons why I did a NT specific
GLUT binding.

You cannot. Courtesy of MS...

Basically there are two types of library calls on NT. The
standard C library (which uses the C convention) and the
Win32 API library (which uses the StdCall convention).
The StdCall convention really is the Pascal convention.
On Intel processors this is slightly more efficient,
especially for 'call-back' functions. In old Windows v2.x
times, this mattered.

It is safe to assume that (except for a couple of oddball
functions) all callback functions need StdCall.

I think it can be called a de-facto standard. Probably
has something to do with its usage by the Intermetrics
Win32Api binding... :-)

I'm afraid that windows users will have to learn to live
with it...
