[HOpenGL] ANNOUNCE: "VOP" - POV-Ray Previewer using HOpenGL

VOP is a program that parses POV-Ray (www.povray.org) scene 
description files and renders them using OpenGL. While the resulting 
3D images are not as nice as POV-Ray's, VOP is anywhere from five to 
two thousand times faster (depending on situation and measurement 
method).
VOP consists of slightly over 10000 lines of Haskell code and a 
little less than 1000 lines of C++ code. GLUT is used for the front 
end. I offer a binary version for Windows, but source code is 
available and should be easy to compile on Linux.
I would also appreciate any help that I can get, so if anyone has too 
much free time... ;-) (Yes, I know that there is no such thing as 
"too much free time"...)

I'm hoping for your feedback.

Yours sincerely,

Wolfgang Thaller
