You (or anyone else) are welcome to use my C++ version of Free3d as
"starter code" for your graphics engine, under the terms of the GNU
Library Public License.  I'm not developing that code base anymore.
It's good for what it does, but I know how to do much better now, and
I'm working on an i486 assembly version with significantly different
internal algorithms.  At any rate, Free3d has got things like fixed
point, vector math, a portable framebuffer interface, and extensive
auto-configuration.  It's not a complete 3d library by any means, but
the base components are in good shape.  Check out my web pages for
details.

Cheers,
