I am not sure whether I'll use one of the existing interfaces (eg. the
one for opengc,... probably I'll start testing w/ the telnet interface.)
or I if write one (yeah, another one :-)

right now, its not connected to anything yet, just keyboard input and
joystick for easy test input.

I heard about this... this still doesn't help me with the specific
projection technique used on NDs. 
Also, I have only started digging into all this GIS and similar stuff
(also for possible use for my day job) There's a lot of stuff to learn :(

Thx,
Manuel
