  It should work with any object with a finite bounding box.
  I haven't tested it with isosurfaces, but I don't see any reason why it
shouldn't work with them as well.

  No idea.
  I could send the current version right now to Nathan for inclusion in the
next MegaPov, and/or just put the modified source files (of MegaPov 0.6a)
somewhere.
  However, I would like to let the syntax mature a bit longer. As with
all new things, the first idea for the syntax is not always the best, and
better suggestions and ideas come rather quickly.
  I would also like to study if the tesselation algorithm could be
improved. Right now it doesn't work quite well with sharp edges.
