I completly agree. If possible, it should even be done at ghost  
level, so that blender, GE, or even python have an unified API to  
check attribs.
I dont know how you did it in apricot ?

I committed a temporary compat file to get mac builds working again,  
but this is not a long term solution


btw, in the graphic demos of the GE in test suite, I have 2 file not  
working (sebulba and girl demo). I remember the same thing in 2.44,
and that there was a very simple fix. Problem, i dont remember what  
it was. Any idea ?
