The particle_system object itself will render as a blob, but you can 
easily just use it as a controller for your own particles, and make them 
whatever you want. And it doesn't do cyclic animation...that's one 
advantage of your include. I'm not sure how I could enable cyclic 
animation...

That's a good reason... :-)

I posted some images and animations on these groups a while ago, and 
somebody used it in an image of some odd robots spraying stuff at a 
mutated rug/chicken thing.
