 cool.  i sometimes like doing things in parallel.  i spoke to michiel
a couple days ago, he emphasised that the whole reason for the funding
is to make the project a success.  so he's happy to talk about
adapting to what works (for us).

 makes you wonder how the other implementors do vulkan, doesn't it?

 btw, texturisation: if much of it can be done "by rote" - i.e. you
could write clear instructions to someone else on what to do, then i
have access to a team that can help.  do let me know if that would
work.
