ANNOUNCE: Tcl3D Version 0.3

Dear Tcl'ers,

I'm pleased to announce version 0.3 of Tcl3D.

Tcl3D offers the 3D functionality of OpenGL and other 3D libraries at the
Tcl scripting level.
This is accomplished by wrapping the libraries with the help of SWIG.

The Tcl3D package currently consists of the following building blocks:

tcl3dUtil Tcl3D utility library (math functions, shapes, stop watch,
..).
tcl3dOgl Wrapper for basic OpenGL functionality.
tcl3dOglExt Wrapper for enhanced OpenGL functionality.
tcl3dCg Wrapper for NVidia's Cg shading language.
tcl3dSDL Wrapper for the Simple DirectMedia Library.
tcl3dFTGL Wrapper for the OpenGL Font Rendering Library.
tcl3dTogl Enhanced Togl widget, a Tk widget for displaying OpenGL
content.
tcl3dGauges A Tcl3D package for displaying gauges.

Tcl3D comes with lots of demo and test programs.
