Absolutely not. I have to switch from Freeglut 1.x to a shiny new FG2.0, 
which will wreak havoc since I forked FG1 pretty badly. This will also 
mean I need to grab, build, and learn a couple of (open) text libs, 
because I also added text handling to FG. So my work is cut out for me 
before I have anything to release.

I have zero problem with doing all this under one project (I'd just have 
separate bundles/directories/whatever for Cells and Cello) and it might 
even be a lot more manageable that way until/if one or the other catches 
on. I can see myself over on a Cello list saying, "Oh, that's a Cells 
question, let's take it to cells-devel so folks there can see it". Ugh, 
sounds awful. :)

One project, then? :)
