I'd be happy to work with you on it.  Actually I have a few ideas.. the
first being to add a "culling" keyword (ie you know there is a mirror
somewhere, so you need all the hair) or perhaps to give the vector to
the mirror and calculate off of both.  The other is to add a margin to
the occlusion formula.  Don't occlude EXACTLY at the point where the
point is no longer visible..occlude 5 degrees further or some such.
