State as of end of DPS909

Windows side

The application works as planned! It is limited to browsing www.c3dl.org or your local machine, as per the project specs. It can display pages with Canvas elements properly, both from c3dl.org and from the local machine. I suspect some bugs with this side; not all local demos work properly, and it has been reported to not work "out of the box" on some machines.

Mac side

I have a running application, with most of the features working. It is unable to display the canvas elements properly though, because it is missing the Mac version of the Canvas 3d .dll file (which the Windows side uses).
