Interesting :)
\begin{off-topic-remark-that-I-cannot-keep-to-myself}
The "real" API to use for 3D graphics is still RenderMan though ;)
It's like C vs. ML or something - ML is really nice but a well-kept
secret, so people just use C. RenderMan is like ML if OpenGL is like C ;)
And of course there aren't really any available real-time RenderMan
implementations ATM. :(
And my ML implementation (which is likely to become a
MLton-binary-library only) will not be released in the
very near future either :(

Speaking of Windows and MLton... I'm going for vacation tomorrow
until Sunday and after that I will REALLY port MLton to MinGW.
I have survived 2 harddisk crashes and a lot of exams, and I
now have the time required to do this port (finally!) :)
Cheers
