Think the mention of a cube face being used for the image might need a
mention also about scaling the 'image_map' down ever so slightly in both
x and y dimensions so as not to cause interference with the other sides
of the cube. This goes for whether it is applied via map_type 1 with or
without the 'once' keyword. If you wish to leave a broader border be
sure and include 'once' in the 'image_map'.
