I have to dis agree with the python bit, many components of glob2 are
starved for speed, mainly all of the gradient computations. But I
certainly agree that my AI system can be made optional. Its built upon
the existing AI system to provide a sub-system for scripted AI's, and
to make C++ AIs much easier to create.
