Yes. In fact I was getting ready to submit packages for the VTP from 
http://vterrain.org (initially including the libraries, VTBuilder and 
Enviro). I've contacted the author to find out what the plans for 
OSG-2.0 support are, and will follow up when I know more.

In addition to that, I have vtgtkmm which is a library of VTP widgets 
for Gtkmm (similar to the WX widgets included in libvtui from VTP).

I also have osgtkmm which is dependent upon Producer. However, a move to 
OSG-2.0 wouldn't bother me at all. I'd much rather target OSG-2.0 anyway.

Just another side note on OSG examples... I noticed that none of the 
data files are included so they run without textures, etc.
