[lug] sketchup

[Davide Del Vento]

I tried it 10 years ago under wine and while it worked for basic
things and demo, I felt that it was not working well enough to be be
worth it. But I guess in 10 years lots of things change (for one,
SketchUp is not Google anymore...) and wine may be much better than it
was...
