Theoretically yes, but are you sure of that? > All someone needs to do is export the value via > the loader API. > > I give up on the plib folks.

I'm not involved directly with that project. I guess I'm taking the conservative approach. We certainly aren't the only users. If the patch was finished, with the support for the old method (or an exact match as you mentioned above) then I can't imagine that the plib folks would not accept the patch. Steve seemed to support the idea of alternate optimizers and like you said all reports are good. When it is ready I'm sure all the Flight Gear folks including yours truly will lobby for it and it will get in.
