Yes! Awesome. Drawing time seems to be a little slower, I don't have any
numbers for that though. But the refresh is ligntning fast.
Hmm, the menu seems to be more responsive too.

You sure? Lemme go double-check the docs...
Oh my. I seem to have this large red welt on my forehead roughly the same
size and shape as my hand. Funny, I don't remember getting it...
I think I've been using -cg in l3p so long that I became dyslexic when
reading the l3p-like camera commands in ldglite-readme.txt... :-,

Ok, I got it now, thanks. :-, Just curious, what is the expected behavior
when -cc and -a are specified together? Is one supposed to cancel the other
out, or are they completely unrelated?

One thing I've noticed is that while spin mode drawing is very responsive,
there's not enough of a delay between when you stop moving the model and
when the higher-quality redraw begins. What would be great is a way to
lengthen this pause, or perhaps a hotkey to say "draw in spin mode until I
say otherwise".

Why, now that you ask, well yes! :-,

I've seen -g (geometry) used in various apps for this. Another possibility
is to throw it into a 4-parameter -v option, e.g. -vleft,top,right,bottom

Neato, that looks cool too, and I think I'll be using that in something! :-,
But what I was looking at was wireframe with the hidden lines removed (as if
all surfaces were the same color as the background?)
Speaking of lines, when I use -W20 the ends of each line segment is capped
by a square which is the same color as the line but 2 or 3 times as wide.
The net result is that pieces with many line segments (curves for example)
have a very "spiky" look. Is there any way to smooth these out?
I've uploaded a sample to my server: http://www.sproat.us/l3glite-test.png
My l3glite command line: l3glite -v640,480 -u6400,4800 -i1 -fh -W20 -q -l3
-s13 -o-500,1500 -z-1000 -a1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1 model.dat
