Okay -- there is room for improvement.  But examples of CSG are
spread throughout the examples.  It is perhaps ironic that the
CSG directory may be below average in its use of CSG :).

You are correct that there is a strong emphasis in the examples
of simpler models with more complex texturing.  The "advanced" directory
is fancier, though -- excellent CSG work can be found in the
fish example and the chess example.

Still, these examples are not extremely well organized.  A coherent
framework might prove useful.

I will, however, bow out of this discussion, leaving it to those willing
to volunteer their time and effort to do the work.  I'd rather concentrate
my efforts elsewhere.
