Hmm... i'm trying to get the devel-opengl to run, but i can't get sigc++ to 
compile on my vs.net and so i can't try it out (yet) myself...

do you think devel-opengl is advanced enough for a simple opengl app ( no 
special fx or the likes needed, just a small "landscape" (256x256 vertices 
with different height (z) levels ) ? your very personal and biased opinion is 
requested :)
