I wonder if 2D stuff could be added as a post processing effect; that would 
be shapes and such that would be added onto the image plane. I've got a 
whole rack of post effects I'd like to see in POV, and that one might have 
it's uses. If done as a post effect, I'm sure it would be faster to animate 
then using the camera mapping macros.
