looked into purpose of glutWMCloseFunc, it was to prevent the window on
which the callback is called from being closed. The ultimate aim was to prevent GLUT from exiting. We do this in a different way, which is added to the docs in the discussion of glutCloseFunc git-svn-id: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeglut/code/trunk@1473 7f0cb862-5218-0410-a997-914c9d46530a
