Sweeeet! CA are so addictive.
I had to pause development of the various simulation programs I was working on,
but they do a *lot*. I'm not sure how recent the code I sent you is, but I'll
7z and send the source for them in a few days.

Well, I'm not entirely sure. I was initially trying to make a sphere_sweep based
pipe macro that could wrap all/portions of an object, but then I started chasing
butterflies with the idea, and here we are. :)

I will find something to do with it pretty soon though. Maybe I'll just post the
macros that "do stuff" at the core of this, because they are pretty useful
(especially the array function macros and object trace spline generator).

I tried referencing .inc files from inside other .inc files and tried .mcr
files, but I kept getting weird messages that basically said pov couldn't find
the included file. These are not in the main include path, but I don't see why
that would have stopped it, since .inc files in the same folder as the pov file
calling them present no problem.

Yes, it very much would be!
