[Fluxus] multisampling (antialiasing)

[evan.raskob [lists]]

This is true - but turning it on globally anti-aliases the scratchpad  
text and polygons, as well, making it all look nicer when smaller.   
Dave's suggestion is to make it a commandline argument, so that's  
probably best, because the flag needs to be set when the GLUT window  
is first created (unless I'm mistaken)

The downside is that this is all done in hardware, and dependent on  
the graphics card.  So it's a bit of a shot in the dark, although it  
looks nice on my old macbook pro.

Cheers
Evan
