Spell it correctly when searching

./source/backend/render/tracepixel.cpp:void TracePixel::operator()(DBL
x, DBL y, DBL width, DBL height, Colour& colour)

(that's in 3.7RC3) (notice the lower 'o', it's a c++ keyword)

If you are looking at 3.6, well, that's a bit of different story.
the local function trace_pixel() is in render.cpp

The source is available for unix (and alike).
For Windows, well... it's windows, and the usual entry point for an
application would be main() as usual for a console application, but
something totally different for the graphical part. (something like
WinMain... or some other sillyness, I just cannot remember from my
traumas with the various Visual Studio... )

Anyway, the virtual front-end is defined in the vfe subpart (and only
unix part is delivered), with a definition of ALTMAIN and its own main().
