Edges parallel to the coordinate axes will be best. But then again, if 
you ever think of rotating that object, you'll probably be better of 
with the best-fitting box you can think of.

I'm not sure - never looked at this part of the code - but I guess 
POV-Ray actually does not use the bounded_by object itself for bounding, 
but rather that object's own bounding box.
