Wow :) That is so exciting... really. And you only get to add the
package on top of every package list "0" and "a" once :D
I don't want to sound pushy or anything, I don't even know how much I
messed up or not, but it would be cool to mention me as co-authored
depending on the code :)
If you don't do it, it's fine aswell because I'm so happy you picked it up!

No, I left NVTT as "to do". But when I had an github account, I made
Nvidia publish a new release for NVTT. So it's just a matter of
packaging the NVTT dependencies. This should not block the 0ad package
commit in my opinion. As no release happened for a long time - until I 
requested them to
do so - every project which makes use of NVTT just bundled a working state of 
NVTT.
