It's not perfect, as it produces distortions  on top and bottom
(but you have to look very straight up or down), but it works rather 
well anyway.  However, the fix is welcome.  Hope the next 
MegaClothMan++8.241StuffPatch will carry it.

The main problem, as I said, is to find suitable scenes. After 7 years
of POV-Ray, I only got 2 or 3 of these...

Fabien.
