Maybe one way to get good tesselation would be to implement tesselation 
rules for each primitive, plus some algorithm to do CSG on meshes. Add 
to that a feature to dump any given object from SDL back into an .inc 
file (which would be a very neat feature of its own), use PoseRay to 
convert that .inc file to .obj, and we should be there.
