Ouch, I was hoping someone had done this already with POVRay :-)

I've got a lot of the varios papers downloaded over the years, i.e. RAPID,
V-COLLIDE and others.  I hadn't really wanted to put together a generalized
collision program, but it might be the only way to do it.

Easier, maybe I'll just completly blow the thing up instead of blowing a
hole in it :-)
