A bicubic patch AKA a bezier patch is a mathematically defined surface that
is used in many other programs than POV-Ray.

I wanted to create a bicubic patch surface using a *mesh*, not using the
build-in bicubic patch object in POV-Ray. This is because I wanted to know
how bicubic patches work at a low level.

That's what I meant and that's what I wrote, but I could have made it more
clear I guess.

Anyway, thanks for your good intentions Dave an Bob!
