We (MacMegaPov) have plans to do so. Meaning to do so for MegaPov 0.2
but there wasn't time enough.
Don't know when and how but that i_dat3d must be available for everyone.
It can be implemented as a build in lib but the initialisation is giving
problems. How handling future libs?
We will take a look at it.
