I'm pretty sure we are /not/ currently compatible with any such package,
so it's not a matter of /staying/ compatible, but /making/ our code
compatible.

Given that our established data structure and algorithm for polygons is
fine enough to accomodate for Density Filling, I see no reason to adapt
our polygon code to any 3rd party package.

Unless of course there is some feature we really can't live without
(hard-coded into POV-Ray, mind you, as opposed to implemented as some
SDL macros) yet can't implement ourselves, but right now I don't see
anything like that on the horizon.
