I think the VT100 terminal reference was probably intended for me (I was 
the one who didn't like opengl in PCB because it got unusably slow on 
all my computers).

I have good news: you don't need to worry about me. As you suggested later 
in your mail, I did realize life was short and did fork PCB long ago. So 
whoever the project leader would be, he/she wouldn't need to worry about 
support for "old hardware", or sw render in PCB.

(Btw, I fully agree that one of the things that could make the project 
better would be a leader backed up by majority of the community, making 
crucial decisions about directions.)
