Note:
The advantage of testing this way is we don't have to fire-up the game.
Converting xmesh to bfxm and back to xmesh should result in identical xmesh files.

I didn't see Ogre listed anywhere in the roadmap. Is Ogre still being considered? Where in the roadmap might it appear?

Ogre is considered for the 6.x release, which may happen a long while in the future. We're short on developers capable of that port.

(notice the porting to Ogre isn't merely using the library for rendering, it means migration of all assets - ie files - to Ogre's formats, and developing an asset format based on Ogre's that does support more features than VS's current graphics engine - so a lot of work)

Would it be OK to add an 0.6.x section and mention it there?
