Hi Michalis,

Thanks for clarifying. I have removed the dependency on whitedune-docs, and
consequently, as least temporarily, the self test in the build.

Embedding some example files in view3dscene itself, so the in build test can be independent of other packages,
seems a very good idea to me.

Peter
