Hi folks--
I have made some changes to the fast clouds code.  I have added some variables
that I believe make this code more usable for regular folks.  I have enclosed
a sample scene file that I think will run if you have pov version 3.5 beta.
In the code I have indicated where you can change variables to see how the
program works.
Below is the New_fastclouds.pov for everyone to try:
