It's about fricking time we get rid of plib. :P

Let's hope we see the same improvement across all platforms as well. > The rain stuff as well as the render surface stuff is nothing too > complicated and already available in osg, but that needs to be done and > tested.

The current 3D clouds don't work on every machine, and I think its maintainer is gone as well. In my opinion, if 3D clouds is offered in OSG, then we should make use of it, because it probably is more robust and better tested than the one we have in FlightGear.
