Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Compilation without OpenGL was fixed. PRC billboard labels
were implemented; settings.billboard was renamed to
settings.autobillboard and by default enabled for all 3D
labels. The surface constructor for embedding labels on
surfaces now draws both the top and bottom faces by default.
The meshpen, knot, weight, and color arrays are now properly
cached.  The example fequlogo.asy illustrates how to draw an
arbitrary 3D background plane. The intermediate DVI file is
now removed when producing SVG output.  Improvements were
made to the tutorial.
