I tried it and it worked, but the speed difference is IMO too significant
for it to be used for everyday POV-Ray work.  You should really release
the source code, i understand it's easier to make a compiled version than
to create a clean version of the source but i somehow find it a bad habit
to offer binaries a lot earlier than the source.

Concerning the triangle function - i think you should include an updated
version of 'functions.inc'.  And i would consider doing the docs soon,
otherwise - believe me - it will be an awful lot of work if done well.
