The output will be identical. It is just that the built-in feature will 
always get the vertices right, while your duplicate-removal code might 
have a bug. Using the built-in feature will get a "perfect" result 
(correct image and minimal memory usage), and be much faster than doing 
the duplicate removal in POV script. The mesh2 syntax is mainly useful 
for working with mesh files...the files are smaller and faster to parse.
