This is inescapable to thank you for the work done, this is really impressive. I even think, but this is not proved, it does things better than Ogre on my GNU/Linux system. The will to make Horde lightweight, simple, clean and powerful has been released.
I want to build something in the same way (I also speak about dependencies), so I may distribute Horde on my side. This is also strongly needed for me. As you wrote, Horde is a graphics engine, not a game one. But Horde has resources management and a logging system, which are things I place on the game engine side, not in the graphics part. So I will have to move them, instead of replacing them, but also may change some code parts, and here goes my questions.
What must I do with the files header (copyright, license)? Should I keep it clean everywhere, nowhere or only where modifications are made?
Could it be possible to me providing this under the GPL License instead of the LGPL one?

The GNU LGPL is defined as the GPL plus additional permissions, so I think you can re-publish the code under the more restrictive GPL if you wish. ("When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.")

However, pay attention to sections 4 and 5 of the GPL. You should keep all copyright notices intact, but if you do not, you must add "prominent" notices that you modified it, and give the date.

IANAL, etc.

Here is what I could make:

Code:
// *************************************************************************************************
//
// File.h
//
// This file is based on egFile.h from the Horde3D Engine, distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
// The original version can be found at this address: http://www.horde3d.org
//
// This file is part of:
//
// My Project
// --------------------------------------

...


But I am not sure this is enough.

It covers the spirit of the requirement at any rate, which I would tend to think is good enough.
