I did not say it can't work, I said it is pointless.  How do you think the
mipmaps are created?  What kind of "more advanced" interpolation does a paint
program use/support that will increase quality compared to POV-Ray image map
interpolation and adaptive antialiasing?  The answer is that there is no such
interpolation algorithm...
