The problem is that the mesh camera concept only works for objects with 
a well-defined UV mapping. It could theoretically be extended to simple 
shapes such as spheres, boxes and such (as these do have a defined UV 
mapping), but certainly not for complex CSG stuff.

Even if it was possible to auto-generate a mesh from CSG, automatically 
finding a suitable UV mapping would be yet another challenge.
