I've also checked in my cleanups, some of which were suggested by andy on IRC. These include:
* reformatting to Stroustrup indentation style. This may not be universally agreed upon in the project, but if I'm checking in a new contribution, that's the style I'm going to use. * make FGPrecipitationManager an SGSubsystem. This is a nice way to avoid adding explicit initialization and update calls to main.cxx and renderer.cxx. * Refactoring (and rewrite) of private function used from tileentry.cxx. In general, never use a private function; do the refactoring to make it public or move it to simgear. > Now, we need an umbrella in the cockpit.

I fear that clip planes won't work; the precipitation effect uses shaders, and there a bunch of issues, including driver performance problems, when trying to use shaders and clip planes together. Eventually we'll either make our own version of the precipitation effect and change the shaders, or pursue something else, like a stencil test, similar to a shadow volume, that disables the precipitation inside the aircraft.
