  Old idea. In fact, even a patch has been done which tesselates any
traceable povrary object (the same patch gives means to write this mesh
to, for example, a file).
  The problem with the patch is that it doesn't work well. It should be
rewritten, using a different algorithm, probably the marching triangles.
