Summary: Transparent objects became less shiny

Initial Comment:
There seems to have been a change in the way that transparency 
interacts with specular color.  When I view a TriMesh object using a 
Quesa library built in Nov. 2003, it looks shinier than when I view 
it with a Quesa library build in Feb. 2004.  This change has been 
observed on both Mac and Windows.  I'd like to get back to the old 
behavior so that previously created objects will not need to be 
tweaked.

Actually, Quesa was never really handling specular color on transparent 
objects, it's just that there was sometimes a specular color left over from 
the last opaque object.  Now Quesa records specular color when 
buffering transparent primitives, and uses an extra pass through the 
buffered primitives to draw specular highlights.
