It seems that the translucent crystal's outline sometimes produces artifacts 
like white pixels/lines :p

How do I run the demo using another test scene? I only found it in the "startme" 
executable so far. Is it possible to switch to forward rendering inside the demo?

I must say that parsing is not my strengh. I wonder that a basic setup of GLSL 
shaders and VP/FP unification would only require some XML parser calls to 
recognize some GLSL-specific tags/whatever?

Also, do you support tess/geom shaders in Cg? If I add them in GLSL then maybe I 
should add them in Cg too to be consistent.
