It's fine by me.  The code could use some changes like getting most of that
case
statement in the render function.

Unfortunately, the GL evaluators used in cube3d aren't compatible with the
vertex arrays.  Similar things can be accomplished with vertex/polygon
approaches (see newwave as an example), but for defining simple bezier type
curves, evaluators are probably simpler and faster.  The next step would be
NURBS, for which glu has a library of functions that I've never really looked
at.

Although I haven't built cube3d, it looks like it will work fine with the
current CVS.
