Of course, SuperPOV and MegaPOV both include the patch for user declared
spline paths.  My specific aim, though, was *not* to simply provide the same
functionality for the official version - macros can be very powerful, and I
would have to say that sometimes they are a better choice all 'round than
modifying the binary.

As for the persistent variables - the main use is to give users the ability
to use named macro arguments.  Yes, it's a hack - but I think it works
pretty well!  In other places I did have to change some #local commands,
because certain versions of POV-Ray don't properly support locally declaring
a variable when there is a higher level variable of the same name, but
different type.
