I never understood that proposal, or how to use it, from the coding side.

And I do not really care, as I use only the official povray and hgpovray, my little
pet.

Since the start of the refactoring (3 years ago?), I'm waiting for the code to
stabilize (in term of change to C++ objects) before moving the changes of hg-povray in
compatible code. I usually check once a year, at summer holiday, but it is not easy.
(and the change of directory hierarchy is not friendly with automerging tools)

I tried to write the nurbs in both, but it turns out to be painful to maintain. Not
something I'm going to do again.

So far my plan is to finish the normal computation of nurbs in hg-povray (something
where reading M. S. Floater in text is a must go, and no, I'm not going for
approximation),
then (when more time become available here), trying to merge the head of master povray
into hg-povray... unless there is another refactoring happening just 2 weeks before I
would have merged).


Your evolution of ovus has been made, but got little echo.

And I'm probably late also on some documentation too.
