  initial_clock / final_clock behaviour

Hi!

The Docs say in 6.1.3.4.2:
final_clock:
This identifier reads the value set through the INI file option
Final_Clock=n.n or the command-line switch +KFn.n.

But saying POV-Ray that it should only render a specific part of the
animation with Subset_Start/End_Frame also changes the value of
initial/final_clock respectively, which is not mentioned in the docs.

I personally think that it should work like described in the Docs and
directly return the value set in the .INI file. But if you think the current
behavior is correct, the Docs need to be updated and you should make it
possible to get, or at leaste to calculate, the absolute values within the
scene.

Bye,
Klaus.
