can't do it at this time.  objects need to be tesselated which turns
them into triangle meshes.  there are a ton of objects polyray could
never make, but even the simple ones don't have the tesselation code
written into the pov program yet.  many people have asked for the
ability to output, but as the pov team decides what features to
implement, we can only hope and not bother them to the point of
annoyance.
