... but nobody has looked at it in a long time, and the "Squeak3D" plugin
is not part of the current VM builds I think. It certainly has not been
ported to 64 bits. That plugin contains the non-h/w accelerated primitives.
I don't think it works without those primitives (even though with today's
JIT VM it might even be usable).
