Thanks guys!

   Actually, J-S, I'm ok with doing a bit of fiddling around, but if I'm
going to commit to a package, I want to be sure it's going to be easy enough
to use that enough other people are going to want to commit to it too.  Here
are the issues, given what you told me:

> http://www.openscenegraph.com/index.php?page=Build.CMake 

> See section "Building under Windows (includes Microsoft Visual Studio, 
> MinGW?, Cygwin, etc)" 

Great!  Good page!  Somebody should fix the INSTALL.txt to tell Joe User
where to find it (rather than the "Getting Started" link under
"Documentation"), or better yet, fix the README.txt not to refer to just the
website and itself, but to include the info that's in INSTALL.txt. (Why are
there two files?)

Good.  Shouldn't this should be on the CMake page, too?  New developers will
want to know how to make the examples against the latest source, of course!
:)

Thanks again!
