An interesting idea...anyone want to write a uu-decoder in POV-Script? 
:-)

Ouch, did I really write "rotate"? I meant "transform"...

If it is, I have not seen it...it was just something I thought of as I 
was writing that the eval_pattern() patch was the only way to do it. :-)

I highly doubt I was the first to come up with this idea, though, 
especially since there have been mosaiac images in the past using 
official POV.

But it requires a patched version of POV.
And if you want to do something to the objects themselves that depends 
on the color, or if you want to make them light sources or something, 
you do have to use eval_pigment().
