I started to implement it in POV from some paper, but when different parts 
of the mesh needed to join back up again it never worked properly.  I 
couldn't figure out from the paper how to fix this, so gave up.  Attached is 
about as good as I got meshing a sphere using the algorithm (the next few 
steps after this started to screw up big time).
