Well I'm surface agnostic, so long as they can be invoked as an object which 
accepts any viable texture.
I will be contributing a few isosurfaces, but those render slowly...so there 
IS a need for fast rendering surfaces as well.

My mailbox can take 20mb I think. So if your file is larger post it to 
rapidshare or something and post the link.
I doubt the pov team will accept huge files though, as the size of the 
distro may be significant to some users.
