In this demo, I'd keep the main window as the IDE window and the 
external as the drawing window.

It would  demonstrate how flexible Squeak is that you could (if it is 
possible) redirect drawing to some other window.

Reading a bit more about supporting multiple windows with OpenGL, what 
is actually needed is to associate a context with a given window. The 
B3D code doesn't have the concept of more than one window (not 
surprising) so I'm guessing that it would be harder than I initially 
thought.

It would be nice to see pyglet-level support for OpenGL in Squeak 
http://www.pyglet.org but I'm not capable of contributing much to such a 
project, I'm afraid.
