My original plan was to simply compile all of the core P.E.Op.S sources into object files and then link them to a main.c that just calls the GPUStartup or some such thing as my first step towards getting things going, but it looks like this thing was written to run on OG GTK, which nothing really supports anymore, so I'm going to need to either update those parts to work with modern GTK2 or GTK3 or -- and this would probably be a better idea -- just discard the components that use GTK entirely (because we won't be needing the config and about dialogs &c.)

Will require #3 to be finished first
Standard mouse and WASD

This way we can easily build the same code on any platform
Should be as simple as replacing the screen blit functions in draw.c
May also want to remove the need for a conf file while we're at it

• Create a doubly-linked list of 2d polygons
• Replace current S_draw_triangle code with a function which inserts triangles into the linked list -- the parent draw triangle function should, during its calculations, find the highest z-value in the triangle currently being rendered, then pass that value into the insertTriangleIntoList() function along with the projected poly points. the insertTriangleIntoList() function will then insert the new entry into the list between the next lowest and next highest z-value of the existing entries
• Replace updateDisplay() calls with a function that goes through the linked list of polys in order and runs S_draw_triangle on each (drawing the scene in descending z-order) -- and THEN calls updateDisplay when the scene has been rendered.

This will eventually become the level editor, but that's a long way off
Needed to support #5

BSPs will solve, for the environments we're exploring, the issue of triangle draw order, so we should start there.

I guess we're basically just going to be writing the quake engine, here

Should finish issues #3 and #4 first, though, and will need the tool from #6 in order to have baked BSPs to use
