It's actually done entirely within POV-Ray as a
function, applied to an input pigment (which
happens to be an image map in this one instance
but could be any pigment, like a checker).  No
intermediate files (pictures, include files) are
needed.

See, the truly wonderful thing about v3.5 is you can
go from pigment to function and back again.  You
can really do some damage now.  :D
