[cells-devel] help wanted

[Kenny Tilton]

Speaking of "where is help needed", depending on one's skill set, here 
are some that I have been deferring:

These two would be good for a strong C and esp. win32 programmer:

-- Freeglut/win32: calling glutMainLoop leaves the app taking 100% of 
CPU. This is weird because win32 apps are supposed to wait until their 
windowproc gets called. Possibly they are failing to handle repaint 
events (in which case I think you just keep getting called again and 
again) or they are doing something to cause windows to send the app 
events non-stop, such as by invalidating the window after handling each 
paint event to cause another to be sent straight away.

-- Freeglut/win32: before the current release I had code which called 
glutMainLoopEvent to handle one event at a time. When I resumed work on 
Cello under the latest FG I found that broken in some way such the I 
simply did not receive all the events I should.

And if anyone is strong on OpenGL:

-- Drawing seems mighty fast, and I have a feeling most of the 
bottleneck is not in the drawing in which case we shouldn't spend too 
much time on this, but I am sure we could get even better performance 
via standard OpenGL tuning techniques such as display lists.
