A few days ago (feb 9, i think) there was a thread about placing point
evenly on a sphere. 

Starting from the URL supplyed in that threat, and with a little C++
hacking, i've made a simple tool that generate a geode with an arbitrary
number of nodes. 

The nodes are placed using an electrostatic-repulsion algorithm; here
are an example with 120 points. 

If someone is interested, I'll post the C++ source code and a win32
executable on an appropriate group (maybe povray.binaries.utility ?).
