Rust version is ridiculously unidiomatic

[emberian]

It looks like it's basically a straight line-by-line port of the C. A more idiomatic version would be using methods on structs. Would you accept a PR that updates this to be more sane?

Sure, that'd be great. Maybe take a look a look at the C++ version, which wasn't written by me, as an example of a more structured approach.

Would it be possible to change it without updating the syntax? I used depreciated OpenGL version 2.1 functions, and the Rust OpenGL library only supports version 4 functions, so as I couldn't get the OpenGL bindings generator to compile on my build of Rust I manually wrote the bindings I needed instead. They're in lib.rs, in the repo. If the syntax of R.rs is updated to require a recent build of Rust to run, then I'll have to rewrite those bindings, as I believe the Rust FFI has changed in the last couple of months.

I had modified the GL binding generator so that it could generate bindings
for any version of GL. I'll wait a week or two and do it for 0.9. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! If possible, could you also have a go at replacing the emptyPt and emptyVt objects? For instance in:
static emptyPt : Pt = Pt{X:0.0,Y:0.0,Z:0.0,VX:0.0,VY:0.0,VZ:0.0,R:0.0,Life:0.0,is:false};
static mut Pts : [Pt, ..MaxPts] = [emptyPt, ..MaxPts];
I tried to have Pt implement the Zero trait and use that, but I couldn't get it to work.
