  The project is kind of on hold, we still want to do it but it looks like
it's not a very high priority and since this is only a hobby for all of us
it keeps getting pushed back. I was (still am ?) responsible for the Linux

  Unfortunately not everyone likes open source software so the source is not
available. This is not a big deal since anyone with basic knowledge of
programming and linear algebra can write an LDraw renderer in a few hours.
