No - I'd *prefer* that you committed it yourself.  Adding other people's
patches is a tedious chore I'd prefer to skip.

That's OK.  The 3D graphics software is pretty much already there.  Very little
of a game like this is involved in that stuff anyway - it's all packed away in
big libraries elsewhere.

Tuxkart ALREADY runs on every OS I know of that supports OpenGL.  That
includes MacOSX (although there appears to be a window-opening problem
with recent versions) - but also MacOS-9, Windows/MSVC, Windows/Cygwin,
Linux, BSD (all flavors), Solaris, IRIX and even AmigaOS.   I believe
someone once got it working under BeOS too - but I never did get the
patches necessary to do that.
