Actually, having thought about it carefully, I don't think it makes
an appropriate PLIB example program...so yesterday I created a new
project at Sourceforge "toobular" and I'll place the code there...when
I have a spare millisecond or two.

Whether I'll ever have time to turn it into a playable game, I doubt.
But at least if it's there, it's out there for someone else to play
with...and heck - I can stop doing backups of it from my hard drive!

The ssgVTable is really rather obsolete - we are encouraging people
to use ssgVtxArray these days - it's the fastest mechanism for
drawing polygons in SSG right now.

The best places to get examples is in the SSG file loaders.  But
most programs just call a loader to grab stuff off disk rather
than generating ssgLeaf nodes by themselves.
