I think you're nearly there, it's probably just that the default aspect 
ratio is 4 to 3, so if you add a right vector and an up vector with length 1 
then you should be able to generate 6 squares that fit together around a 
cube. The example below illustrates this.
Note. The image width and height you generate will need to be equal, 
otherwise it still won't help much.

camera {location <0,0,0>
  look_at <0,-1,0>
  angle 90
  right x
  up y
}
light_source{0 rgb 1}

cylinder {<-1,-1, 1><-1, 1, 1>,0.08 pigment {color rgb <1,0,0>}}
cylinder {< 1,-1, 1>< 1, 1, 1>,0.08 pigment {color rgb <1,1,0>}}
cylinder {<-1,-1,-1><-1, 1,-1>,0.08 pigment {color rgb <1,0,1>}}
cylinder {< 1,-1,-1>< 1, 1,-1>,0.08 pigment {color rgb <0,1,1>}}
