  It's not only about the quality of the rendering (in other words,
whether you could express all the textures, media and lighting features
of POV-Ray in CUDA), but also whether you can trace all POV-Ray primitives
with CUDA. Can you, for example, trace isosurfaces, the poly object or the
julia object with CUDA (even the next generation one)?
