Maybe our machines will even use quantum processors by then! :p

I think that our building system (good old autoconf/automake) is just
obsolete right now. I've been able to look at some other building
solutions (cmake, scons, ...) and they just seem much better (suppport
for real Windows development tools like *gasp* Visual Studio, better
portability, shorter building configuration files, and so on). I think
I'll evaluate them on 0.4, as a way to get back into it.

And now that SDL finally seems to have a decent OpenGL backend, I
suddently have renewed interest in graphical programming.

So, Alex back to code? Yeah, almost. ;)
Alex.
