Up until a week ago, I didn't know the VFaq existed.  I think we should
make sure Twyst adds a link from the povray.org page.  Also it probably
wouldn't hurt if every so often, someone posted a general.  "Have a
question about POVRay?  Have you checked the VFaq at ..."  That way
newcomers might end up going there first.  Just a few thoughts.
