[AG-TECH] VP & UChicago SVN repository

[Thibault Daoulas]

Hi Jason,

Sure I can place some information there. This version should be 
cross-platform indeed, since the libraries used are all cross-platform 
(OpenCV, GLFW, FTGL, DevIL). However I am not familiar at all with 
configure scripts, and I have been working modifying manually the 
Makefile (it is currently working on Ubuntu), though trying to 
understand how to deal with configure scripts, so this must be sorted 
out still...

Cheers,

Thibault.
