Ken, this is certainly a very uselful task.
p.b.u. is now an important resource for povray utilities and rummaging
through it takes some time, so having a compiled and commented list is
handy.
Thinking about povray utilities, I was wondering if the pov-team ever
considered bundling some of the most useful macros (general purpose like
the matrix/vector alignment macros, or specialised, like the lens
flares, trees or columns ones, or Chris Colefax's macros) with the
official Povray releases. They wouldn't take much space and could be a
nice addition to the package. Support would be up to the macro author of
course.
