This is the wrong group for this question.  This group is for discussion of
the POV-Ray source code.  Questions about using the POV-Ray scene
description language or ray-tracing in general should be asked in either
povray.general or povray.newusers.  Feature requests and feature suggestions
should be placed in povray.general.
