took some more time to make it run under windows too.
i noticed that the vertex_array branch is really old (pre-0.90); this 
gave me several problems (as there where some fixes for nvidia-compiles 
under windows); however it works now.

i have changed following:
[vertex_offset] now takes 2(X,Y,0,0), 3(X,Y,Z,0) or 4(X,Y,Z,W) arguments 
for "offset"; similarily i have changed [color_set] to take 1 (Grey), 
3(RGBA) or 4(RGBA) arguments for "color"

i have removed the traces of GemShape in [color_set] too (changed to 
GemBase)

what i do not understand on [color_set] is
a) the name: wouldn't [vertex_color] fit better (to see what it is meant 
for, like [part_color])
b) the message "number": why is it "number" and not "vertex" as in 
[vertex_offset] ? i think the 2 are so similiar that 2 different 
messages for the same behaviour is non-intuitive.

haven't tested [vertex_quad] (crashes, but haven't looked why), 
[vertex_grid] and [vertex_combine] yet.
