hmm.. sure would it be possible. I'd guess you want a random function
that returns the same list of values for every recompile and is
configureable using a seed value, right? I've added that to the todo list.

tghis is what happens already now. the bigger of the two radii of the
cylinder defines the number of facets.

I think you are talking about the mac os snapshots because the win32
snapshots do contain the svn revision number already as part of their
filename.. marius?

I actually am pretty happy with a simple traditional mailing list..

I think the documentation is the piece where the most help is needed atm.
examples with pictures would be a great improvement. Zach added pictures
for some of the primitives - but I'm sure there is still much room for
improvements..
