People read the documentation and the message window?  Where are these
people?

I guess I agree, in principle, and if people want to jpgify their output
they should be able to, but I still think it'd come back to bite whoever
implements it in terms of additional support.

Oh, no, of course I don't.  I don't have to support everything, either, as 
there are at least a few people in this group who help tremendously with 
that, but until I can set up a proper CVS archive and mailing lists, it'd
be more trouble than it's worth to try to coordinate small bugfixes among
more than about two or three people.  I still don't see how the POV-Team
does it. :)
