GLUT Installation in Windows XP 64-Bit

If you're trying to install all the files needed to develop with GLUT in Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition, the directions need a slight update. Don't put the glu32.dll file into C:\WINDOWS\System32. Instead, put it in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

Pain in the ass to figure out. I honestly didn't think SysWOW64 was anything important. What the hell is wrong with calling it System64? SysWOW64? If we ever have 128 bit windows I'm sure it'll be C:\Windows\SysROFLCOPTER128LOL
