I'd say it looks like people are indeed using it. Apparently it works
well enough that they haven't found the need to ask questions.

Looks like Steve knew about the drag n drop peatures. What's involved
in implementing the receiving code. I'm not sure I could coax the
correct Windows events out of the Glut library, but you never know.

I would definately look at it and probably borrow some ideas, if not
actual code. How much interest are you looking for? If you've been
watching the lugnet.cad groups lately you must've seen all the
cross pollination of source code between the various projects. If
you put the code out there, the odds are pretty good someone will
find a use for it.

That sounds a little too Windows specific for me to tackle, but maybe
if you proposed such an interface (with all the details) something
might eventually come out of it.
