Hi, again.

In case someone wonders what happened to WIP #2 I can say that I never 
got around to test it in window and therefore didn't post it here.
This one should work in windows too (it does for me on a computer where 
#1 didn't).

Animation: http://www.daniel-nilsson.com/ocean03.mpg (1.5Mb)
Statistics: http://www.daniel-nilsson.com/ocean03.txt (total for 250 frames)

Things I have done:
* Changed the scale and added a lifebuoy for reference.
* Implemented a formula that relates wavelength and wave speed in a 
realistic way for deep ocean waves.
* Tweaked the foam texture.

I'm still not happy with it. One thing is that the waves are random now, 
I think I'll need to set them up manually to get more realistic waves.
Then I need to clean up the code and post it.
