I'm mildy impressed with G3D. It's got a clean, easy to use interface, except 
is has the same problem I've found with all Quake-style modellers, in that 
when you have a complex model, selecting a vertex for building a face can be 
a hit/miss process....

I got it to compile, but the SDL version flickers like hell, and the GLUT 
version lacks the menu.

gcc spent ages compiling one file. (when I say ages, I mean > 1 hour). I'm 
not sure what caused it, but I'm impatient...
