I've been building CVS with plib-1.8.4 (the last release) for ages with no 
particular problems, so I'm not sure it's true to say that we _rely_ on PLIB 
CVS.  This is not to detract completely from your point though...

That seems to be true.  I'm personally using Tiago's texture compression patch 
with 1.8.4 and it is the sort of thing that would have been applied almost 
immediately were it part of simgear, say.

We should also bear in mind the possibility that PLIB might not be the most 
suitable platform for fgfs in the future and that migration to OSG would be 
an option.  However, I'm not a coder and other than having played about with 
some fairly inspiring (visually) OSG applications, I have no really valid 
opinion on that matter; that would almost certainly be post-1.0 anyway I 
would imagine?

Cheers,

AJ
