	It should be possible to decrease the amount of memory required
(divide it by 4). At the first iteration, since blok is a simple cube,
balk is equivalent to a box { <0, 0, 0>, <5, 1, 1> } although it is
done with 4 boxes. Even with that I don't have enough RAM to give it a
try from what you're all saying ("only" 512M) but some of you might
want to try it.

	Of course, this is only true so long as f is set to 1, with higher
values the results won't look the same...
