The Python bindings don't compile, as far as I can tell; they're very
new. The Ogre forums confirm this
(http://ogre.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1140). It also
doesn't seem to have any bindings other than Python (not that *I* mind,
but others might ;)) CrystalSpace is still uninstallable on Debian. I
am bored waiting for Ogre. Anyone got any other suggestions? :)

Pete, how did your examination of the old Spy vs Spy go?
