Thanks for sending this message!

Not a particularly pro-merge point, it just means the main branch has
suffered some bitrot, because...

... most people seem to be having success with the thomas branch and the
new functionality therein.

Again, bitrot. Just needs to be fixed. Not a big deal.

But yeah, I completely agree that cl-opengl-thomas should be merged. It
has had a lot of testing. People seem to be using it with no problems,
and all development has been taking place there. If Oliver and James
don't have any objections, I'll push the cl-opengl-thomas patches over
to the main cl-opengl branch soon.

Also, you guys that have been sending patches should definitely be added
to the cl-opengl group. Send me your c-l.net account names so we can
make those requests.

Ah, and please let me know if I missed any patch!
