many, many THX for adding those!!!

You're welcome.  As an aside to other users that have feature ideas, I believe
that Willy suggested/requested all of the above.  I tend to be fairly arbitrary
about which feature requests get implemented and which ones don't (I'm more
likely to work on those that strike my fancy), but I do make an effort to pay
attention to requests.


* Fixed SaveSnapshot so that it now only loads the model once; previously it
   would load it and then immediately reload it, doubling the load time.

this seams not being true for the command line. actually now it loads the model
twice, taking twice as much time ;-)

Hmm, I'll have to look into that.  I thought I had it fixed.  The SaveSnapshot
functionality behaves very differently on newer video cards with good OpenGL
support than on older ones with less good support.  I'll have to determine if
both code paths are broken or just one of them.


* Fixed command line parsing to properly handle quotes around a filename
   specified as part of an option.

superhint for all the absolute command line beginners out there (from an
absolute beginner). the syntax for the -SaveSnapshot command is:

-"SaveSnapshot=c:\...blanks...\xxxx.bmp(png)"

I'm pretty sure the above won't work.  The point listed was put in the change
history because I fixed it such that is should now accept either of the
following:

-SaveSnapshot="C:\...blanks...\xxx.bmp(png)"
"-SaveSnapshot=C:\...blanks...\xxx.bmp(png)"

As you (Willy) noticed, the first form didn't work before.  However while I
won't rule it out entirely, I will be surprised if the quotes after the dash
work.  What I can say is that the only spaces allowed in the option are the ones
in the filename itself, and if they exist, they require the quotes to be
present.
