All 'complex primitives' like spheres and cubes need a way to convert
themselfs to tristrips. First they need it to be able to be displayed
and secondly anyone who doesn't like these primitves in his scenegraph
would convert them and dump them.

So anyone who needs to be able to read VRLM needs to use the Aux library
- and if it is only for converting the primitives ASAP.

I don't think that that limitation is a too big. Esp. as you could
convert the models to something else before loading them if you don't
like the bloat of an Aux library.
