This has been done before, Rune made several impressive animations with
that:

i think this was implemented as a POV-Script.

I also tested it myself (using a separate c program):

but neither of these has been published so i'm afraid you probably have to
reinvent the wheel for the moment (my program is not in a publishable
state).
