Indeed, there was an image that won that was rendered using a patches version of
POV-Ray that used a post-process effect.  The program effectively rendered
multiple frames, held them, then averaged them to create the final image.  So the
main difference between a GUI ext and a source mod may be as simple as what the
rules explicitly tell you.  Too be honest, the administrators really wouldn't do
anything IMO if you use your extension.  It's just a matter of how the judges
feel, and there's no real way to be sure of that since it changes every round.
