Nice to see that someone else is also looking into this. I still haven't got
textures on my "real" machine, so I'm stuck with my old P166 for debugging
the 3ds-loader, and for some reason I never get around to boot it... ;-) (It's
amazing how fast you become used to a P3-500.)

By the way, I use a modified version of the tux_example to test the 3ds-loader,
and have stumbled across something I think is sort of odd. If I load one of the
models supplied by Wolfram Kuss (550.3ds), it looks what I think it should look
like (a large building), but if I also load the pedestal model from the
original tux_example, the whole building turns white (no lighting or anything)!
Any suggestions to what might cause this? (The loader does not use
GL_COLOR_MATERIAL, if that is of any interest.)

The other models Wolfram sent to me doesn't work at all, so I should be doing
lots of work now! :-)
