Later. Right now I am making some modifications which will allow much 
more flexible animation and particle generation options. The 
"custom_particle" feature is gone, for example, but now you should be 
able to get particle information like position, radius, velocity, age, 
etc. through functions, so you can do much more. And the whole system no 
longer has to be recalculated each frame, you should be able to use the 
persistent objects feature of MegaPOV to calculate only what is 
necessary. And I plan on adding things like fluid types, particle 
fission/fusion, custom inter-particle force profiles, low-speed impact 
effects...

Some other modifications I have made already: collision detection is 
much more accurate, and you can specify a texture on an 
emitter-by-emitter basis(demonstrated by the animation).

Er, well, I didn't think about it. I assumed anyone looking for an 
animation would look in povray.animations.
