Status?  How do you mean?

  * It compiles.

  * It has no known bugs.

  * It is required by a number of packages (eg PrettyPoly)
    so it's definitely here to stay.

  * I'm currently adding a Particle System to it.  I don't think
    it'll ever be considered "finished".

  * It is intended to contain things that could be considered
    'optional' and which could be written in terms of existing
    SSG calls if the application programmer doesn't want to use
    ssgAux calls.  Consider it analogous to the GLU library for
    OpenGL.

What exactly do you need to know?

I was just confused a bit by the documentation, not sure whether it was 
still
in progress...  I'll look at pretty poly...

Ah - yes - there is currently *zero* documentation for ssgAux.  That's
*not* a good thing!  I don't think looking at PrettyPoly will help you
very much...but who knows?

Yes.  (I mean't that ssgAux will ever be considered 'finished'.  The
particle system stuff should be done in a few days).

I'll try to find time to document ssgAux after I've finished with the
ssgaParticleSystem hacking.
