[x3d-public] WASM/WASI for C/C++ VRML browsers on the web.

[GPU Group]

GL,
Freewrl hasn't been generalized to vulkan (yet) but some of us would love
that.
One related idea is the nVidia real-time raytracing, which can be done
through DX and vulkan extensions - so generalizing freewrl to support one
or both of those as well as opengl would be very welcome.
