Probalby the easiest way would be to create an independant program first, that communicates with FGFS via the network api. This works currently for multi monitor (=machine) setups. And when the new rendering engine is capable enough to work in such a situation we can integrate it. The benefit is a very fast start on the rendering side - w/o much needed internal FGFS knowledge and w/o the need to synchonize development at the beginning.
