Hm, I was thinking about some kind of an "inverse" bounding object to do this,
i.e. when this inverse bounding object is hit, the object associated with it is
*not* rendered. This should be pretty straightforward to implement, and would
make effects like the one I did quite simple to achieve.

I'll post the source to povray.binaries.scene-files. I's a bit of a mess but I
tried to clean & comment it to some extent, hopefully it is readable.
