Looks awesome :)

I have been playing around with it a bit and I can't seem to find some
major problems. I did notice a cosmetic issue, where the preview
window size is miscalculated or something when resizing the 3d
properties window.

Also, one needs to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make sure that the new dll
or so files are found if not make installing to a standard location.
