This silly little .pov script will make a random
colloge of images.  Four images are stacked (as if they
were photoshop layers) and randomly faded.
        Before running the script, add/edit the add_image()
calls to use your images.  It is a work in progress so the
code is sort of haphazard.  Still, it's neat enough that I
thought some of you would find it interesting.
