			<tt>glutUseLayer</tt> changes the per-window layer in use for the current window, selecting either the
			normal plane or overlay. The overlay should only be specified if an overlay exists, however windows without an overlay
			may still call <tt>glutUseLayer(GLUT_NORMAL)</tt>. OpenGL commands for the window are
			directed to the current layer in use.
		</p><p>
			To query the layer in use for a window, call <tt>glutLayerGet(GLUT_LAYER_IN_USE)</tt>.
