Actually, if it's setting both the maximum and minimum reuse to the same value,
it's basically saying "only reuse if it's within (arbitrary small float value)
of maximum_reuse".
In effect, it mostly disables reusing of samples, with exceptions that aren't
necessarily reproducible on systems of different architecture (like, say, if
someone were inclined to make a build of POV-Ray for the XBox 360, since pretty
much everyone else is using an Intel or AMD processor).
I'd be inclined to, in situations like this, give a warning and then swap the
values on the assumption that someone just wasn't paying attention, rather than
a "mostly disabled" setting that's going to, at some point in the future, drive
someone nuts.
