That sounds good. In particular it's important for this project to continue making an effort so that users won't be enticed to use a DX implementation when there's an OpenGL one, even if the author thinks the former is more common / convenient / whatever. He sounded a bit lax there - users are hurt when they use proprietary software, even if they own OpenGL-deficient hardware :p -- Sylvain
