Hi.
I'm still waiting for response from the plib-devel list!
But until then maybe we could at least include an improved patch in the
pre-compiled releases?
Cheers

That's not an option. Even using the comment line for
that isn't one, although it wouldn't violate the spec.

I will post in the plib in the plib devel list just to make sure we can

Technically, the extensions can be queried in run-time (and there are a
few more that can be included easily).
I don't see any reason why would anyone with compatible HW want to
disable this, but who knows? Perhaps some purist dislikes that s3tc is
lossy ;)
The other problem is that this is pl

The OGR library and tools happily read TIGER data without further

Altough s3tc is quite widespread, since we are using 2^n sided textures,
it should be trivial to add support to down-size sides by 2^n if the
user wishes so, at the expense of longer loading time. We could also
provide a way to convert the actual files.
Models could also be LODed during loading
