Especially in light of the fact that Moray will soon be just as 
affordable as POV-Ray (if this is not already the case).

The only logical reason to reserve praises or prizes for hand-written 
code is to make it fair for people who don't have the $$$ for a modeling 
program; for some of us, a $20 shareware fee really is too much for 
something that is only a hobby.  (And most shareware is really 
crippleware, but that's an argument for another thread.)

But with Moray being transferred to the POV-Ray organization, that 
reason goes away.

Regards,
John
