I haven't figured out the best way to proceed on this.  However, it's clear to
me that if these macros (which include HSV conversions as well) are rewritten,
they should be given new names, and not replace the existing macros.

This seems more of an issue for colors from 3rd party color pickers, anyway, and
not so much relevant to POV-Ray declared colors.
