Yes, of course.

Ok, I just did that. For this first big patch, I prefer to send it to
a existing member instead, so it can be quickly tested or reviewed
before it's commited to CVS and Makefiles can be made.

Uhm, what's that?

I documented everything I added to the project.

We just got Gnash to work on a little ETRAX 100 LX (100 Mhz CPU w/o
FPU) with a 320x240 LCD. It's damn slow (as expected) but looks very
nice. :-)


BTW, the old mesh set cache seems to have never been limited and this
probably eat up memory. I added a limit in the new design (as
originally intended by the author).

One more: When playing the first Ninjai episode it stops in the
preloader at 95% (also with OpenGL backend). Will need to check this
with current CVS...
