Ok, fine you're right, I'm wrong. But I had no way to know this...
Please try to make a faq about wish-lists and requested features, well
you can even not make it, but such threads will be repeated I think...
I'll repeat that, if I don't know what is going on, how should I
decide to make a patch? It's stupid to make a patch if a feature is
already planned and if my patch will be thrown away in the next povray
release (as pov-team does not integrate patches, they are rewriting
the patch). I don't want to do a work that mabye someone else will
redo, so my patch will die (because, who will use it if there's in the
official povray release?) and my work be wasted. I think this is
really easy to understand...
