The changes I think are pretty incompatible. This is because the GLut library also provides messaging, whereas in fpGUI the messages are implemented outside of the backend. Therefore hacks are needed to keep the drawing messages coming correctly. With a pascal context library everything could be merged seamless I suppose.
