Does this mean that a major change can be considered?
I have had some ideas I'd like to share with you (and the community). 
Unfortunately the words 'major rewrite' seem to trigger a flame war. 

In principle the idea is that such a piece of software is split into two 
parts: an engine (3d processing) and the frontend. There is a wide range of 
reasons to do so (I also know the reasons not to).
It would also be useful to co-operate with the Blender3D team, since it is 
becoming open-source.

Feel free to ask me more if you're interested.
