I'm interested in working on it, but as Havoc said it would take a very
long time (with a qualified person, and I'm probably not the most
qualified person) ;)   But it's definitely an interest of mine, so if
other people were to try to get started I would definitely try to join.
I started writing some of the gpu rendering code that I hoped to use
towards this, but I haven't gotten to the actual scene graph part yet so
it's not very interesting yet.
