Well, POV primitives (with the exception of things like mesh, 
height_field, and bicubic_patch) don't have anything resembling 
wireframe data, and raytracing isn't too good at drawing lines...they 
would have to be post-processed in. It looks to me like this is what was 
done with Tron...raytracing for the main scene objects, composited with 
a simplified, edited wireframe.
