Part of the reason why we need to add the Bone, SkelModel and SkelAnim
classes to A3DL is so we have "generic" skeletal animation support. So when
I am done we should be able to load .x or .cal3d or whatever else the engine
might support.


Let us know how it goes.  Also, this does tie into the question of how to

No dice on holding off ; )  Let me know what you have in mind. i could use
all the ideas i can get.
