Let me again cleryfie here - important - it is a cool and interesing future  
to have 3D visualization, and it is very important to me right now since I 
already promise it (and I will be learning some other 3d program, or OpenGL  
in other case).

But this is a CAD program, with additional (yet cool and fun) possibility 
of seeing 3d results of work.  It can work without any 3D renderer (only - 
my boss will kill me for changing my mind, but thats other case ;), and it 
definetely can work without PovRAY. 

I think adding other 3d visualization (like OpenGL) is a good idea, I was 
hoping to add it a bit later in second edition of program (and now to allow 
vector formats) but since PovTeam dont want PovRay to be an essential part 
of a program I will start with at least wire 3d preview (since I dont have 
too much time to learn OpenGL good, and I know PovRay quite well :)
