I am wondering, whether NURBS support is anywhere on the POV-team's current
agenda.  I've seen such a feature request come up before, and it seems like
such a generally useful modelling integration feature that I am surprised
that nobody has attacked it before.  From the posting by ingo, it does not
seem like it would be rocket science either.  I am asking because I am
considering this as an possible project (once I finish my current one, that
is :)

POV-Ray nurbs support with on-the-fly tessellation / cacheing... that would
be nice...
