Hy all MLCad-Fans

Since the discussion about the vertex things still is ongoing, I plan to do
the following now.

I'll release version 1.5 within the next days, this version will have a
landscape generator and a picture generator (don't ask what it is, just try
it, it's a surprice ;-) ). Also there are several bug-fixes which are
relevant for all people using the program (there was a rotation problem, and
a problem when saving a picture).

From now on, I though it would be better to discuss the next feature here in
this forum.

My suggestions for version 1.6 and above:
- Read Compatibility to LDLite
- Enhanced color requester (support for all possible colors)
- Some sort of explosion drawing mode (my idea was to show the parts which
are added in a step, around the model in a small frame, with an arrow
pointing from the part to the final position of this part, this would be a
step, so the next step would show the model with all parts placed on the
model).

Tell me what you think!
