This is good to hear!

I on my side am still working on the rendering interface part - ie. I 
am implementing a ray tracing based renderer which can be used as an 
alternative to OpenGL.

The intention for doing this is that I'd like to have 2 different 
renderers for testing and validating the design so that we do not by 
mistake make decisions based ie. on OpenGL constraints.
