Since the application is in Windows, I'll be using POVRay for windows.  The
output of POVRay can be redirected to a file, but the statistics appears
only after the rendering is complete.  I noticed that Lutz wrote a DLL to
improve the communciations between POVRAY and MORAY.  hmmmm  I wonder if
there's a way to tap into that???
