I welcome everyone to comment the new design concepts and philosophy 
for the 3DKit as shortly explained in the gnu3DKit.info file. BTW I 
just added some more comments wrt tasks and actions to the file.

Please let me know what you think! If the general direction is 
'accepted' by everyone we can go one step further and start with the 
real work...

Furthermore what the 3DKit then needs are test cases and real 
applications. So I am curious if somebody on this list actually has 
some concrete plans to use the 3DKit (once it will be usable...)?
