I think the principle here is similar to what I came up with, but yours
looks more direct for images. Thanks!

Oh, very little for this sort of size. I just objected on philosophical
grounds to having to tile a texture by hand! And the advantage of tiling it
in POV is that I could (should the madness take me) easily layer several
copies of the same texture, each with different numbers of repetitions, to
create a more complicated surface.

Thanks,
