Yes, the camera is not supported fully yet.
Basically, only a cam with its up, direction, right
and angle components will work, and even then
there is a slight misregister -- at 800 x 600,
the OpenGL and POV cams are several pixels off.

I will keep working on it, unless someone
beats me to it.

I don't know if that's a macro issue; it looks
like all the objects are being drawn. The pyramids
of course come out as boxes, because everything
but spheres emit bboxes currently. The cam has
a FOV discrpency certainly. If you add an "angle 70"
statement, it will register the wireframe much closer.
