That's ok Dylan, better now than in a couple of months :-). I only
picked those functions because I had a good idea about how to
implement them. I just got accepted into GSoC 2011, so I'll try to
find some other mesh functions in D3DX9 to implement.

Don't worry about it. No offence taken :-)

Ok so I can still work on ConvertPointRepsToAdjacency and
ConvertAdjacencyToPointReps?

Thanks for the suggestions. It seems like Misha Koshelev is working on
D3DXCreateTorus, and David Adam is working on D3DXCreatePolygon?

I'll have a look around and see if there are any other good functions.
Any other suggestions from anyone are of course welcome.

Cheers,
