I think I'm probably going to have to switch to the "mesh" syntax
(instead of mesh2). I've tried the following 2 examples, which I think
should look identical - but they don't. They're wildly different here
(with regard to uv mapping):

mesh2
{
  vertex_vectors
   {
    4,
    <-0.5,-0.5,-0.5>,
    <-0.5,0.5,-0.5>,
    <0.5,0.5,-0.5>,
    <0.5,-0.5,-0.5>
  }
  uv_vectors
  {
    4,
    <0,0>,<0,1>,<1,1>,<1,0>
  }
  texture_list
  {
    1,
    texture { OBJuvPOV_Texture },
  }
  face_indices
  {
    2,
    <0, 1, 2>, 0,
    <0, 2, 3>, 0
  }
}

Doesn't appear the same as:

mesh {

	smooth_triangle {
		<-0.5, -0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1> // Normals just faked
		<-0.5, 0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1>  // Normals just faked
		<0.5, 0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1>   // Normals just faked
		uv_vectors
			<0,0>, <0,1>, <1,1>
	}
	smooth_triangle {
		<-0.5, -0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1> // Normals just faked
		<0.5, 0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1>   // Normals just faked
		<0.5, -0.5, -0.5> <0,0,1>  // Normals just faked
		uv_vectors
			<0,0>, <1,1>, <1,0>
	}
	uv_mapping
	texture { OBJuvPOV_Texture }
}


What's more - the second example renders differently in uvPov (alpha
5) than it does in SuperPatch POV. No - really, it does. It renders
*exactly* as I'd hoped they both would...

Methinks if nothing else I've spotted a problem with SuperPatch
POV...?
