[Bug-gnubg] 3d board

[Jonathan Kinsey]

I've just merged my 3d board branch into the main cvs branch.  Hopefully 
I've not lost any changes along the way.

The main area left todo is the designs for the 3d board.
There should be a corresponding 3d design for each 2d design.
I've attached some notes to help anyone who would like to try.
Note that currently there are just a few test designs setup.

I'm not sure if there's a FAQ somewhere, but there are probably some
common questions which people are likely to ask, I'll answer some here:

Q. Will the 3d board work on my machine or with my OS?
A. Yes. :-)
The issue is more about performance rather than functionality.

Q. What are the minimum requirments for the 3d board to work acceptably?
A. A 3d graphics card with a hardware accelerated opengl driver.
A good indicator is whether you can display 3d graphics with other 
applications - most commonly games.
Windows is ahead of linux in this area as all 3d graphics cards have windows 
drivers,
only recently are more 3d drivers becoming available for linux.

Q. The 3d board doesn't look right, what is wrong?
A. Update your graphics driver.


I'm sure there are still some bugs in the code, email me/the list/or raise a 
bug
request and I'll try and sort things out.

Jon
