-Project history
-===============
-
-The [original ruby-opengl](http://www2.giganet.net/~yoshi/) was written
-by Yoshi.
-
-James A. desperately wanted to get the OpenGL Ruby bindings working on his Mac,
-but they wouldn't even compile on OSX. After a little bit of tweaking, he made
-his patched bindings available to the ruby community in a very informal manner.
-
-John G. then wanted to clean it up and add some docs to it, and so started
-tweaking and put up a new site and made his changes available.
-
-Then Peter M. came along and decided to try updating ruby-opengl using SWIG,
-as it seemed easier than doing everything by hand. Peter wrote the new code,
-John started the actual RubyForge project, put up a new site, and Peter
-committed the code.
-
-Thu M. V. joined the project with a lot of energy, and the mailing list
-was showing a good bit of activity.
-
-After some experience, we began to question whether SWIG was necessary/helpful
-for a project of this nature.  The leaning was that people want to abandon
-SWIG and go back to maintaining the binding files by hand. Thu even provided
-a script to help with the manual coding that would be required without using
-SWIG.
-
-The reasoning at the time was:
-
-Pro-SWIG:
-
-* Could use the .i files for another project, perhaps (OTOH, we couldn't
-  use previous .i files on this project...)
-
-* It's supposed to require less manual coding.
-
-Con-SWIG:
-
-* yet another tool to learn
-
-* OpenGL isn't really all that big
-
-* OpenGL doesn't change a lot
-
-* A lot of boilerplate and overhead in the generated files because SWIG is
-  a general tool.
-
-
-In September 2006, we stopped using SWIG. Thu and Peter began fine tuning
-Thu's original `utils/mkwrap.rb` script.
-
-Development stalled in October 2006.
-
-Development picked up again towards the end of 2006. After a long hiatus 
-and getting a new release of mkrf out the door, version 0.33 (following the
-numbering of original Yoshi's bindings which stalled at 0.32) was released.
-
-During first half of 2007, we added large portion of code, as well as number
-of unit tests, creating near-complete support for OpenGL 2.1.
-Support for MS Windows was also added during this time.
-
-Version 0.40 was released in July 2007.
-
-Version 0.50 was released in October 2007.
-
-Version 0.60 was released in December 2007.

-Design
-======
-
-This document records the requirements, high-level design, and the
-specifications for the ruby-opengl project.
-
-The content of this document was gleaned from the postings on the
-ruby-opengl-dev list and internal notes from John G., Peter M., Vo Minh Thu,
-and Robert K.
-
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-* ruby-opengl is a Ruby extension library which wraps the OpenGL, GLU,
-  and GLUT libraries.
-
-* ruby-opengl shall provide three base modules: *BaseGL*, *BaseGLU*, and
-  *BaseGLUT* (the "Base Modules").
-
-  Note: "BaseGL" etc. are not the names that appear in the code -- they are
-  just handles so we can write about them in documents like this one.
-
-* The Base Modules shall be separately loadable.
-
-* BaseGL shall not depend on any of the other Ruby modules.
-
-* BaseGLU shall depend on, at most, BaseGL.
-
-* BaseGLUT shall depend on, at most, BaseGLU and BaseGL.
-
-* Base Module syntax shall closely follow the standard C-syntax.
-
-  The syntax for a Ruby program that uses the base modules, shall closely
-  follow the standard C-like syntax that OpenGL programmers are used to,
-  and that most OpenGL examples are published in:
-
-        {{ruby}}
-        require 'gl'
-        Gl.glBegin( Gl::GL_POLYGON )
-          Gl.glVertex2d( 0, 0 )
-          Gl.glVertex2d( 0, 1 )
-          Gl.glVertex2d( 1, 1 )
-          Gl.glVertex2d( 1, 0 )
-        Gl.glEnd
-
-  Or:
-
-        {{ruby}}
-        require 'gl'
-        include Gl
-        glBegin( GL_POLYGON )
-          glVertex2d( 0, 0 )
-          glVertex2d( 0, 1 )
-          glVertex2d( 1, 1 )
-          glVertex2d( 1, 0 )
-        glEnd
-
-  The rationale for adopting the C-like syntax is:
-    * Makes it familiar to OpenGL programmers.
-    * Removes the burden of learning OpenGL plus some Ruby-isms, just to
-      get started.
-    * Makes it easier to port OpenGL programs to/from ruby-opengl.
-    * The current OpenGL documentation more naturally fits ruby-opengl.
-    * Putting "gl", "glu" and "glut" in front of all the names (i.e.,
-      following the C-like syntax) leaves common variable names open for
-      the programmers (e.g., "vertex", "color" etc. are popular topics in
-      3D programming, so not robbing the ruby namespace of such valuable
-      real-estate seems nice).
-
-
-* It shall be possible to check out the project from svn, compile and test
-  on the following platforms: Mac OS X, GNU/Linux. MS Windows operating
-  systems may also be supported in the future.
-
-* The project will make a number of pre-compiled extensions available as gems.
-
-* The project will supply source code and build scripts (via svn checkout)
-  conducive to straightforward porting to other platforms.
-
-* There shall be a test suite that exercises each call in each of the Base
-  modules.
-
-* All project documentation will be in Markdown format in files that end in
-  `.txt`.
-
-* The project will make some efforts to track versions of OpenGL.
-
-
-### Things in the future
-
-Once the base modules are implemented, there are several ideas on things to
-do next.  This list is not really requirements, but a list of nice ideas to
-try:
-
-* Provide wrappers for glBegin/glEnd, eg: polygon()...translates to
-  glBegin(GL_POLYGON)....glEnd
-
-* Untyped versions of the multi-typed gl functions:  e.g., a single
-  glVertex that examines its arguments and calls the appropriate
-  glVertex{234}{fisdv} call in BaseGL.

-Implementation
---------------
-
-Our plan is to continue on with Yoshi's original code, modified
-to use standard OpenGL-style constant and function names.
-
-
-### Build environment ###
-
-The build environment will use:
-
-* use rake and mkrf. 
-* minimize the number of additional tools required
