Unfortunately scatter macros are *very* difficult without some sort of
trace() function to find out where everything is. This makes sense; you
need to know the positions of all the objects in order to scatter things
on them!
Try MegaPOV if you don't want to wait until the final release of 3.5 I
don't know if JRG's macro is compatible with it though, you'd need to
ask someone else about that.
