I copied the CHSV2RGB macro and stored the r, g, and b values in separate
variables to get rid of the parser warning about a suspicious expression.  How
do I suppress that?
And why do warnings and debug comments to the stream slow down POV-Ray SO much?

I managed to eke out a render, even though there are several things going on
that I don't understand.

For one, the whole logic of generating an array with both P2 and P6 Legendre
polynomials and taking the max of several operations.

I'm sure I must be missing something in generating my array, since I'm not
totally clear on what's taking place in some of the MatLab operations.

I'm not sure why my spline returns a 2-component result.

AND I'm perplexed about the u and v in POV-Ray's parametric.


But I made a pretty picture.   :D

I made the cross-section by making another pseudo-parametric with spheres and
filtering out any y values less than 0 (it's rotated around x), but I'm sure
there must be an intersection / difference / clipped_by method that's more
efficient.
