If it wasn't for that bug in gcj and the Sun JDK issues, we would've 
added a (nearly) fully functional JSAI binding.  :-(   Hopefully before 
the next dot release a new gcc dotload will be released with our 
required JNI fixes.

I've actually been updating it over the last couple of weeks. Getting 
there...I'll check in what I have by the end of the weekend. OpenVRML 
has definitely improved in terms of conformance with this release 
(mainly due to the Text support changes) but it looks like FreeWRL might 
actually have passed us in the last couple of months as they've made 
unbelievable progress (been running them through the tests as well). 
Hopefully we can jump back ahead before the next release!

Cool. So does that mean we're ready to start hosting RPMs for the 
*lookats as well? GtkLookat and XmLookat are both ready to be released 
with 0.13.0 and I can build the RPMs as well pretty quickly. BTW, the 
File->Open problems present in the previous version of the viewers 
should be fixed now.
