OpenVRML doesn't directly depend on either of those things. It is
conceivable that they are indirect dependencies; but the particulars of
that are going to be distribution specific. You'll need to do a bit more
investigating to see exactly why these are being pulled in.

And, yes, OpenVRML is under pretty active development. There was a
fairly major release last month and a minor one yesterday.

I don't think it makes sense to wait for anything. Either assist with
making the things you want happen, or move on to something else.
