It was suggested to me that I do a comparison using the example scene
"optics.pov" to show the difference in render time between MegaPOV 0.7 and
POV-Ray 3.5 RC5.  The only change to the scene was to replace the keyword
"collect off" to "ignore_photons".  MegaPOV appears to render the scene
about 7 times faster.  I'll post the images in the binaries group.  To me
there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

Resolution - 640x480 AA 0.3

MegaPOV 0.7 -          6 minutes 31 seconds
POV-Ray 3.5 RC5 - 47 minutes 51 seconds
