	Actually, just reading the darn source code for (say) duckdemo +
reading the plush.h file can be pretty enlightening.

	I've been hacking together a little something for fun... too bad I
don't really know Allegro or Plush too well.

	It's basically a heirarchical collection of boxes in a human
shape.  The heirarchy makes it easy to animate (bend at the shoulder, and
the entire arm and hand moves with it.  Rotate the top-level object and
the entire "person" rotates.)  I think a few weeks and it might be
semi-cool to look at... but then again, probably not.

	On a non-Plush note, could someone explain in simple terms (cause
I'm a simple person) how to install and use Mesa?  Typing make gcc (gcc
being the name of the generic gcc-enabled system) doesn't work, and there
is no djgpp target... there is a Watcom batch file that I couldn't figure
out how to swap to djgpp style.

thanks,
  Andrew
