Yeah, I used GLUT and it seems fairly portable. So far I've compiled it
with gcc for linux/mesa, the mingw32 port of gcc for windows, and Visual
C++ for windows.
I've already started looking for better menus than GLUT. So far FLTK and
GLUI look like possibilities. We'll see though, I'll have to see how far
I can stretch GLUT first.

Actually at this point, I don't think it matters how the files are stored
on the FAT filesystem since it's case insensitive anyways. I copied the
files over a network from a smbmounted FAT filesystem and got the files
in all UPPERCASE. Then I tried copying the files from a locally mounted
FAT filesystem and they were saved on the ext2 filesystem as lowercase.
It looks like we're gonna need a utility to fix the case of all files
in the P, PARTS, and MODEL directories no matter what. The question is
what should we choose as a standard?
I suspect the right thing to do is to look inside the zip files of the
LDRAW and various updates and see what case is used. Then we should stick
with that. I'll have to fetch them again sometime today and take a look.
