Dear John & sage-devel,

I looked into libtachyon on Sage a while ago. Right now, we don't
build the library because tachyon already isn't that easy to build
without manual intervention. Sage only drives tachyon through
temporary files at the moment. Clearly, that is not ideal. My wishlist
would be

1) Use autotools/libtools to build a shared libtachyon in a portable manner.

2) I know that there is a way to render into a memory buffer, but I
haven't understood it 100%. I'm not sure if building it currently
needs OpenGL headers; If possible, we would like to avoid that
dependency.

3) Documentation would be nice ;-) For example we haven't quite been
able to figure out the aperture option, see
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9855

Best wishes,
Volker
