Buyer beware: There are different breeds of cubic (i.e 3rd order 
polynomial) splines, which differ in how the control points are 
translated into polynom coefficients. The article is about cubic splines 
of the Bezier type, while POV-Ray's "cubic" splines are close relatives 
of the Catmull-Rom type.
