Anyway, if you feel strongly about this let me know and we can add > them. I'm used to make OpenSG examples for my stuff that are not of interest to the public. For these examples I sometimes use vmath and glm. If I would have support for these libraries, I could always easily add my examples to my local OpenSG distribution copy and everythink is in place for productive working. What I do not like is to have many patches, that I have to apply to the official code base after I have taken it from the net, in order to get going. Adding some files to the OpenSG code base is fine for me but changing any official file by patching it is not ok. Additionally, in that case license issues would pop up. So these two libraries are a little bit special but since the changes are so minor I hope that you could do me this favor. Best, Johannes P.S.: Since my thunderbird news client that I use for list communication has problems to show up all send messages I could not answer directly to your message. Probably my answer will be llisted into the wrong place. Sorry for that.
