[osg-users] vrml2.0

[Gino van den Bergen]

I would like to note that current OSG VRML plugin depends on OpenVRML 
14.3. The plugin does not support the latest version of OpenVRML due to 
its dependecy on boost (and probably also because the Windows build of 
the latest OpenVRML relies on Visual Studio .NET 2008) .
