I'm not actually doing a scene that involves motion blur, I was just
wondering. The other side of the coin then is what about a patched version of
povray (ie source code modifacation) as there was a scene (admitedly stills)
that I belive won a round. What is the difference between a GUI Ext and a
source mod, besides the obvious.

I respect your opinion but I just feel that this question needs answering now
before it becomes a problem.
