   Oops... yes, an ".inc dump" feature would be needed. I linked to Le
Forgeron "Mesh from and to file" experiments without noticing he used
the GTS format, which is not supported by Poseray.

   As for the tessellation itself, for my simulation purposes I guess it
would be enough with a general implementation. It doesn't need to be
nice, just close enough in shape. For the most complex objects you would
just increase the accuracy parameter to not miss important shape
features... it if gets slow, it doesn't really matter much, as you will
tessellate it only one time.
