It is not a fullblown 3D engine, but rather, "G3D provides a set of routines and structures so common that they are needed in almost every graphics program."  It has a CMakeLists.txt at the top of the CVS tree, and also some kind of python build.  I've only just started looking at it, but the webpage does show noticeable project maturity.

Good that they're doing CMake.  However, it is not a mature project, 
looks like they just got started in fact.  They seem to be pretty 
organized for having just got started though, so maybe it's based on 
some previous work.  I need to drill down to the details.  Then I need 
to ask why they're making yet-another-3D-engine instead of contributing 
to one that's already out there.  Also their licensing is combo GPL / 
Commercial, which I don't like.  I'm curious why they didn't opt for 
LGPL or BSD like most open source 3D engines do.
