'define_macros' only works with the latest version of distutils.

May be you should use the same include order as in the other
c-files.
(This file fails to compile.)
* _glumodule.c *******************
...
#ifdef WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#define MCALLBACK (void (__stdcall *)(void))
#define GLUCALLBACK WINAPI
#else
#define MCALLBACK
#define GLUCALLBACK
#endif

#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include "Python.h"
...
**********************************

(This one compiles without problems.)
* _openglmodule.c ****************
...
#include "Python.h"
#ifdef MS_WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#endif
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <math.h>
...
**********************************

If you include "Python.h" first and use then 
MS_WIN32 instead of WIN32, you don't need to
define WIN32 and don't get problems with 
older versions of distutils, which doesn't
handle 'define_macros'.

(There are some other occurences of WIN32 in
your file, either you replace them or you 
define WIN32 in your c-file if MS_WIN32
is defined.)
