  My patch stuff

Here is the source code I currently have. Some of the patches are
unfinished(especially transparency), there are a few pieces of
experimental code commented out, and some of the things are for planned
patches(like some stuff in tokenize.c and parse.h to reserve tokens).
There is documentation included, I will work on some more descriptive
documentation. If you have any questions just ask them in
povray.unofficial.patches.

This patch is based in part on WyzPov source code, credit for the
blurred reflection, angle-dependant reflection, etc goes to Mike Paul. I
just modified it to use patterns and my own syntax(which is still in the
experimental stage). I also borrowed a lot from his reflection blur code
to add blurred transparency.
Credit for the trace function goes to Ron Parker, of course. The
image_pattern is from Nathan Kopp's UVPov. Let me know if I forgot
anyone. :-)
I am debating whether to move to the Superpatch source or to stay with
official POV, I am currently leaning toward using the Superpatch. Any
suggestions?
