Several months ago I suggested an alternate way of doing anti-aliasing
but no one seemed to like it enough to code it :) The idea is to have
the supersampling pass _after_ the image has been rendered. Another
option is to anti-alias an already rendered image (provided you have
the code, of course :) ). So if you have a powerful computer you can
render it with higher anti-aliasing settings or even re-render at a
higher resolution with a great save on render time. I think this would
be a nice feature to add to POV. Do you?
