How can I replace main() with WinMain()? - glut

Question

This is a fully functional Win32 console application. It compiles and runs. I found this program along with GLUT library.
But, I am not being able to replace main() with WinMain(), coz, they have different number and types of arguments.
How can I replace main() with WinMain() in the following program?
#include <GL/glut.h>
void display(void)
{
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f (1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
glVertex3f (0.25, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.75, 0.25, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.75, 0.75, 0.0);
glVertex3f (0.25, 0.75, 0.0);
glEnd();
glFlush ();
}
void init (void)
{
glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrtho(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize (250, 250);
glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100);
glutCreateWindow ("hello");
init ();
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
}

You should replace main with WinMain like this:
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
glutInit(&__argc, __argv);
// rest of code previously in main
}
Note that you must link with the VC++ library for this to work.
