The #debug statement only takes strings, so you will need to convert the 
vector to a string first. Since you seem to be using POV-Ray 3.5, look 
up the documentation for the vstr() function.

The answer is to use min_extent() and max_extent(). ;-)
Once you have the coordinates of each corner of the bounding box, it is 
very simple to translate it so it is centered over the origin or any 
other desired point. Just find the center and translate by -CenterPos.
Or you could use the standard macro for this: Center_Trans() in 
transforms.inc.
