First: Um, Henk, I'd appreciate it if you didn't send Verse-related mail
directly to me. Use the mailing list, that's what it's there for. Thanks.

Now, I'm not certain what you mean by "broken", in the context of the
Verse server. Of course it's broken, since it's not complete, far from
tested enough, and so on. But it does compile and run, and as far as I
know, is useful enough for what Eskil does. Not for what he wants to do,
but I doubt it will ever come to that state. :-)

The branch called "branch-20010824" contains an obsolete version of the
transform physics, but at least it works and can express object move-
ment, however crudely and "wrong". So, that's the one I chose to extend,
and also the one I fixed a bug in last week (at Eskil's request). At
least I *hope* I fixed it... Feedback, Eskil?
