[Graphics] OpenGL code integration

Hi,

These last few days, I've been working on the OpenGL renderer
for integration within octave (ported from JHandles). Up to now,
I've converted the rendering of figure (== clearing background)
and axes objects (no content, no text [ticks/labels/title]). I'm
now wondering how this code could be aligned and/or integrated
in octave. More specifically, I'm wondering what's the best
option:

1) port the complete renderer before integrating it into octave:
this probably means you won't see any code before 2-3 months.

2) send patches on the mailnig list for early integration in octave:
patches would then be produced when rendering of a new object
has been completely converted.

3) wait for SCM switch before doing anything and work on a local
repository (maybe with a public archive, such that John can
pull changes regularly).

I'm also wondering where this code would be located within
octave: built in octinterp? built into an octgraphics library?

Michael.
