This is probably an inefficient way of doing this but...
Take a 3-dimensional array, with all elements set to zero ("no
content"). Have POV randomly set some of them to 1 ("cell sphere"); now
have POV go through each zero element, looking at the blocks around it,
and set them to various numbers representing ("straight pipe"), ("corner
yX"; that is, corner between -y and +x directions), etc depending on the
positioning of the cells around that block. Then tell POV to place all
the relevant objects based on your array contents.

Perhaps a bozo texture? (with extra turb)
