Another approach would be to scale the texture in the texture editor
appropriately. In your example it would be <.1, .2, 1>. When the object is
scaled <10, 5, 1> the texture ends up with <1,1,1>.
I had trouble with this concept in Moray too but there are ways around it.
Tony's approach definitely works but PoV-Ray needs to create another object
and goes through some initial CSG operations/checks. I guess.
