It took longer than i thought, because in order to make the f(h) equation match
the documentation, I had to flip everything upside down and backwards from the
way I did it in Excel.  And I used arrays.

But it all works, which is what I needed to do.

With regard to POV 4.0, I see no reason why the number of points needs to be
specified, since the source can count the points when parsing the SDL.
There ought to be a way to specify the "tension" like in a proper Catmull-Rom
spline.

Anyway, here ya go.
