...yeh, I don't know what that's about, it's been awhile...I do  
remember not knowing where to put them, so maybe Manips would be ok,  
even more appropriate...together they can replace the render pipeline  
(and only work on the gpu, not the cpu), so that seems like a   
"Manips"-ulation...but they haven't been tested much lately, as I  
have mostly fooled around with the arb_programs stuff via the opengl  
wrappers...

...otoh, are you still believing we should have 4 elements for all  
vertex_* components (ie. vertex, normal, color, texcoord, etc)?  If  
we can get over that hump, it's probably ready to go into HEAD...
