Maybe I should have been more specific - you get cones, but they have to
have a pointy end.  No frustrums.  So, I went the more general route.

To be honest, that would introduce several lines of code into every
place that a prim or texture is exported.  In addition, any transforms
that have to be exported might require some work.  That means
maintaining plenty of code for the sole purpose of toggling output
coordinates.  Just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.

You either have to design with Y = up (just change the meaning of
front/side/top and rotate your camera 90 degrees...), or modify your
shaders.  Moray doesn't preclude you from designing that way - it just
defaults to a certain orientation.
