[Golist] updates to GO3D - updates to demos

[John Grden]

ah thanks man!

yeah I've been doing testing of late with Flash10's api and comparing their
2.5d with pv3D's.  In some cases, the 2.5D version looked better, but they
have smoothing on etc.  So they assume quite a bit for you in doing the
2.5D, including the type of rotation system and culling choices.  It's kinda
crazy.  They figure if YOU write your own triangles, then you can control
everything, but when they do it for you (and they don't draw triangles btw),
they assume alot - which in the end costs you on CPU.
