Hi Florian,

I've written an includefile for creation of rounded objects. It is not
an automatic "rounder" of arbitrary objects and it can not create all
rounded shapes, but I can't live without it.

Basically, you can take the volume between two parallel planes, make
a closed cut (perpendicular to these planes) along straight lines and
circular segments, then round the corners lying in the planes.

Example picture:

   "Round/bevel: include file demo [51 KB JPG]"
Include file and "slide show" demo:
   povray.binaries.scene-files, 23rd January
   "Round/bevel: Include file"
Tutorial:
   same thread, 26th January
   "Round/bevel: Mini-Tutorial; Test-Arena"

The include file has an additional short german introduction and comments.
