Here is the code needed to implement the isoblob primitive I've been
working on. It should tack on nicely to Superpatch 3.1e. Complete
instructions are included.
http://www.dreamscape.com/lummoxjr/povray
Incidentally, new functions were added, such as floor(), ceil(), if(),
atan2(), etc., so you might want to try this out even for the sake of
using those. (If you do, you can probably just use the f_expr.c,
f_expr.h, and f_func.c files as-is and leave the others.)
I encourage anyone to test the robustness of this patch, *especially*
where isoblobs are concerned. I'd like to see what creative images and
scene files people can come up with for this patch.

Does anyone know anything about using Microsoft Visual C/C++ 1.0 to compile
POV-Ray or the SuperPatch? For example, is it possible?

Maybe as a DOS app, and only for very small scenes. 1.0 was a 16-bit
only compiler, IIRC. You'd be better off getting a copy of DJGPP or
Cygwin.

Minor bug fix: Beta 0.9 of the isoblob patch had a problem with scaling
transformations, due to some legacy blob code. (It had to do with
bounding boxes, basically. It expected a unit vector for direction and
didn't have one, so any scale over 1 messed with the bounding spheres of
the elements.)
The only changes in this patch are to isoblob.c and some additional
comments thrown into the other files. If you've already integrated this
patch, just copy over isoblob.c.

I completely understand making a decent Web page is less interesting
than hacking POV-Ray. However, I suggest to put up at least one of
your test pictures that shows a isoblob.

Wow, wonder what you'd say about the superpatch web page. :)

Are you talking about http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/superpatch/ ?
How about adding a least a picture ? :-)
Seriously: I didn't want to be rude. If some one understood my
comment this way, I apologize. Although my knowledge about the
English language is increasing, I have still problems to express
my opinions.
If I remember correctly, there was a superpatch web patch with a
picture that uses at least three of the new features. This might
have been the disappeared page at the twysted.net patchstation.

It is a bit ironic that Ron P. has a web page tutorial there at:
http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/homepage.html
and yet lacks a link from his default page to the SuperPatch page (yes,
it is rather bleak there, isn't it :)
I'm not complaining one bit though, to me utilities, patches and such
all seem at home on a FTP-looking page.
About the English, when to worry is if you get 90% or better at it. Then
we English-speaking folk can begin impromptu grammar classes on you.
Otherwise I think you're safe because we know the lesser capable are
trying to type right and so read accordingly. Saying all this half in
jest btw, and saying this so I don't get blamed for something.

eww, gross, I still have that online? Definitely time to redo my
start page, I should think. The info on that page is probably so
outdated it's laughable, and the counter hasn't worked since FWI
nuked my webpage months and months ago and wiped out the script
for it (and subsequently changed their apache config to not allow
.htaccess to do anything meaningful).
Obviously web page design is no longer one of my big priorities.
I should definitely set aside a day or two to whip up a nice page
to put the superpatch on.

Anxiously awaiting that <fingers rapping on desk> but I'm obviously not
the one you would be catering to by doing so.
