OK. I'll put in a pull request to update tiling.pov.

What we have today is OK & looks good if all people want to do is tile a 
floor with one of the patterns.

Where we want to do more with tiling and pavement patterns, it is often 
necessary to know the basic tile's scaling. It is this latter 
'information' we are aiming to make easily accessible somewhere.

These scalings do not necessarily mean repeatability of the unit square 
after scaling - though that is often the case.

I'll change penrose to Penrose in tiling.pov.

FYI. Jérôme created the tiling and pavement patterns and is our expert.
