I added a few macros to the file.  The macros in the file now includes:

Connect:  a macro to smoothly connect two spheres.

RoundedBar:  Creates a box with four of its edges rounded.

RoundedBox:  Creates a box with all of its edges and corners rounded.

NEW!  BevelBox:  Creates a box with its edges beveled.

AxisRotate:  Rotates objects around arbitrary axes.

Reorient:  Takes an object pointed along one axis and turns it to face
in a different direction.

FlipXY:  Flips an object between the x and y axes.
FlipXZ:  Flips an object between the x and z axes.
FlipYZ:  Flips an object between the y and z axes.

Transition:  Implements a smoothly-accelerated move from one point to
another.

SmoothSeed & SmoothRand:  Provides a random value that changes smoothly
over time.

Matrix:  Facilitates the use of vactors in matrix transforms.

vmatrix:  Allows mtrix transformation on individual points.

Stretch:  Allows objects to be stretched along an arbitrary axis.

FindKnee:  Got a leg, but can't find the knee?  Help's here!

sgn:  A function the POV-Ray team forgot!
