C++, by itself, has no concept of windows or OpenGL, so there really
isn't a "good old C++ way". You will have to use *some* library to put
up the window into which OpenGL will draw; basically, your choices on
the Mac boil down to  GLUT, Cocoa or Carbon.

Any of these solutions can be used with C++ OpenGL code.

You can find more information about the Cocoa and Carbon interfaces to
OpenGL at: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/OpenGL-MacProgGuide/OpenGLProg_MacOSX.pdf>
