Hans's suggestion may be good.  But it depends on what is really going on in
jogl.  If jogl could be easily patched to not need gluegen's source code but
we end up doing the gluegen source code then it's a very poor solution.
OTOH, if jogl really needs some private "header" from the gluegen source
then it is a resonable solution (it becomes equivalent to tracking a static
library and is an easier exception to grant than an exception for bundled
libraries.)

So... more informaiton is needed.
