Sounds reasonably and attachement shows it is easy possible (considering I
used proper equation for catmull-rom spline). Of course equations could be
simpler internally becouse it is just solution of quadratic polynomial.
Solution represents t value where p has extremas. When t is outside [0,1]
range then take p1 or p2 otherwise calculate p(t). Add Proper radius to
calculated value. I have no easy access to the C compiler for prepare
corrected MegaPOV function but perhaps somebody could hardcode this.
