Look what I found !
This quote is from the section "Using INI files" of the scene docs:
"The only exception is the +L switch for setting library paths. Up to ten
unique paths may be specified."
And this quote comes from "Library Path" the Parsing Options section :
"Up to twenty unique paths may be specified."
Can we assume that 10 is the limit in a command line and 20 in an povray.ini
? The remaining five (according to the source and Mr.. Parker) could they be
for extra paths in extra .ini/command line options that we choose to make ?
