Thanks, I'll take a look at that and at SuperPatch
as well.

In regards to Ron's DLL comments, I agree that
portability is important. I don't know why
there would be a licencing issue with DLLs
per se -- if developers provide the source code
to their DLLs, just like they do for patches,
then what's the problem? In fact, I was going
to do my changes as a patch, but wanted to
use DLLs just to avoid bloating pvengine.exe.

Granted, people could abuse the DLL system,
and start distributing binaries only. I can
see that being at cross purposes to POV's
normal distribution.
