And there he is, gloriously rising from his Olympian couch in the light 
of a new day! <cough...cough>

A little bit of history first. Over the years, there have been several 
proximity pattern builders around, by James Coons (patina2), Rune 
Johansen (patina), Sam Benge (fast_prox), and Edouard Poor 
(DF3Proximity). They all have their plus and cons according to use and 
type of object but I personally always have favoured Edouard Poor's one, 
not in the least because it easily generates df3 files. So I shall 
concentrate on that one.

Over the years, I have changed some things, in particular adding a 
collection of default textures to be eventually used, but that may be 
awkward. The best I could do in the end is to test each new object with 
a standard full coloured texture and when satisfied, replace that with 
my own texture.

I am going to brew a simple demo scene and put all necessary files into 
p.b.scene-files later today (I hope).
