	I got a decent result (the monitor I've got here is *very*
bad, so I can't be sure it's really good, but it didn't look
worse than yours) with the following settings:
samples 20,20 intervals 1 jitter 0.01 aa_level 7
aa_threshold 0.1

	Remember that:
* "samples s,s intervals i" is nearly equivalent to "samples
i*s, i*s intervals 1" except that it should render slightly
faster and give slightly better results
* the max number of samples in method 3 can be approximed
with samples^aa_level therefore increasing aa_level can do
wonders for the quality without increasing render time too
much (although in some cases it won't do any good)
* a slight jitter can sometimes help a lot

PS: when I seemed to imply that the pic looks bad, this is
only due to the screen I've got here, I've seen pics that
looked much worse here and were pretty good when viewed on a
decent monitor...
