Thanks for digging this up.  I am thinking I will try and implement this method
as an alternative using my own coding style, POV 3.8 features, and fitting into
my library code framework, and then compare the results with the triangle-based
version.  It appears there is some interesting code to deal with the problem of
local, small plateaus on the surface object to try out.
