 Ha! You beat me to it! Great! :-)

 I hadn't sent an ITP for this yet because of the ugly 0.0-x soname.
 Now that Naofumi decided to use numbers I was poking with it, but
 didn't got arround sending an actual ITP.

 You are going to package the C++ version, too... pretty please?

 Next thing is to port the two or three packages using gtkglarea to
 gtkglext and retire the former.

 I never understood that claim.  It doesn't actually make sense.  And I
 think that's changed a bit in recent releases.

 Thanks,

 Marcelo

 PS: It's great to see you "arround".
