I've tested this, and it appears to be working fine for me.  That is, I
can successfully run pretty-print with only OPENVRML_DATADIR set.

FWIW, note that there are some registry keys that libopenvrml will look
for on Windows in place of these environment variables; see
src/libopenvrml/openvrml/local/conf.cpp.  The idea is that an installer
would set these keys appropriately.  This needs to be documented better;
I'll add information about this to README.

Also, I've discovered that you *can* build openvrml-0.18.6/boost-1.43
using Visual C++ 2010 if you define BOOST_NO_RVALUE_REFERENCES.  I think
the Boost bug that makes this necessary should be fixed in the next
Boost release (1.44).  I am working on a set of Visual C++ 2010 project
files that will appear in the next OpenVRML release.
