:  I am using Chris Colfax's animation patch.

  A note on terminology here:

  Usually a "patch" is a modified version of POV-Ray. That is, the source
code of POV-Ray itself has been modified and re-compiled in order to get
a functionality.

  Chris Colefax has made "includes" (or "include files" or sometimes even
"macros", although the latter can be sometimes a bit misleading specially when
the implemenation of the include is not made with a #macro), which are
closer to plug-ins (although not in the strictest meaning of "plug-in").
  So it's more correct to speak about an "animation include" (or even
"animation macro" if the implementation is a #macro) than a "patch".
Even "animation plug-in" would be closer than "patch".
