Bugzilla Bug 137775

openvrml should probably be removed from portage becasue...

        ebuild and src aren't ported to work with SeaMonkey (Bug #137665)
        no upstream release in almost a year
        does not compile with gcc-3.4.6 (Bug #88970)
        ebuild is not maintained (Bug #23545)
        no packages in portage depend on the library
        no one has cared to version bump it since 22 Nov 2003 (Bug #92690)

openvrml-announce, 2006-08-12:


OpenVRML 0.16.0 is now available.  The distribution can be obtained
from

  <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvrml/openvrml-0.16.0.tar.gz?download>

OpenVRML is a C++ runtime library for VRML97 and X3D worlds.  It is
capable of reading and displaying VRML/X3D; it can be used for creating
loaders, file converters, and VRML/X3D browsers.

OpenVRML includes a Mozilla browser plug-in.

You can find OpenVRML on the Web at

  <http://openvrml.org>


New in OpenVRML 0.16.0:

- User-extensible I/O subsystem based on the standard C++ IOstreams.

- Asynchronously load Inline worlds.

- Asynchronously load and progressively render PNG and JPEG images.

- Added support for nonnative EXTERNPROTOs.  EXTERNPROTO
  implementations are loaded asynchronously.

- Support for constructing scene graphs from Classic VRML-encoded X3D,
  including the Core, Interchange, Interactive, MPEG4, Immersive, and
  Full profiles.

- Mozilla plug-in now uses the Web browser for resource fetching; so
  it gets the benefit of the Web browser's cache.

Removed.
