I've used it a few times... I think it's just so hard to tell what exact
effect it's having that very few people even noticed if it worked or not.
(It's one of those things that, if it doesn't work, makes you think it's
much more likely that *you're* doing something wrong, then that there's a
bug in the program.)

So adc_bailout *was* buggy. Glad to know it's not just me...heh. I tried it
once and thought that I was doing something wrong (as I had never used it
before) and never thought of posting anything on it. Scary.

Is it acceptable to add any new features to POV 3.51 or is this just a
bugfix release?
