Maybe it's because I have an older version of the wyzpov source, but one
thing that's awkward about it is that reflection has been completely
replaced.  Anyway, just something to look out for.

I tried to patch uvpov with it, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to
work right.  Even worse is that it runs and renders fine - looks almost
like it's reflecting backwards or something...wierd.  

I should really get the latest version of the patch I guess. :)
