I've just "released" v0.1 of a game, Dragon Forever (http://www.the2bears.com/?page_id=454), that uses LWJGL and some SPGL as well. So thanks to everyone here and especially Cas for a lot of inspiration (and code!).
The link above has some more information.
Thanks for trying it out, hope you like it.
