Hello Doug,

Sorry for the very late reply.

Works for me with SBCL/1.0.12 running on OSX/ppc. I only had to make a
minor adjustment due to a minor incompatibility between current
cl-opengl and the cl-opengl-thomas branch I'm using. The first comment
that pops to my mind is: finally, a cl-opengl program that is actually
useful. (I have only done redbook examples and a silly game so far.
:-))

I've added your program to the examples directory. We probably should
give it some sort of licence. Is BSD (the same as the rest of
cl-opengl) OK with you?

Yeah, with-pushed-matrix is such a trivial abstraction/utility yet
works so nicely.
