It seems to cope quite well though!  It also "idiot-proofs" most of the
whole surface/solid thing.  I'd have given up ages ago if I had to put a
surface on every bit I CSG'd away just to make a thing look
"solid-but-with-a-hole-through-it"...

The sad fact for me is that I know that POV can do the things I want - I've
only got to look at p.b.i and irtc (and of course your own work ;) to know
that - it's getting it to do them that stumps me!
