Yep.
Currently working on some animation cleanup. Now hunting the two remaining
bugs in my code I already know of ...
But yes. I am thinking about such a thing.
I believe that I can't resist to implement that with a vertex shader, even if
this will not work on any machine. But this will be probably the fastest
approach I can think of.
I contrast to locally changing the geometry we do not need to invalidate the
display lists for those objects.

Oops!
I did not have it this far in mind.
Do we need that?
Having that animation in a shader program will make it compilcated to have
moving objects on non rigid models ...
