Hello everybody,

I have a bit of a dilemma with the OpenVRML plugin. The current version
works only with the old OpenVRML version 0.14.3, because the newer
versions have changed the API and introduced a dependency on Boost.

I have now received a contribution from Xiangxian Wang who has ported
the plugin to OpenVRML 0.16.5 (and Boost). What should I do with it?
Should I replace the current version with this new code (and introduce
Boost dependency just to load VRML) or keep it separate (introducing a
maintenance/support nightmare with duplicated code)?

I have tried to look also into the possibility of merging the code to
one file and use conditional compilation to choose which version should
be built. However Mr. Wang's changes are very intrusive due to the way
how Boost is used by OpenVRML. It would be an unreadable mess
interspersed by a lot of #ifdefs.

Any suggestions?

Jan
