General

To stop any misunderstandings: I did NOT write the essential parts of this library. Roman Podobedov did (http://romka.demonews.com). But the library didn't seem to be maintained anymore and he didn't respond to my E-Mails, so I forke libgli off gli and maintain it now. Why did I do so?
Because I think it would be a waste to let this fine piece of code go to waste :)
