I think it looks interesting, but the last time I read it (over a year ago,
so I might be remembering incorrectly) it appeared that it is fundamentally
incompatible with the POV notion of rendering everything from top to bottom,
left to right.  I believe a fundamental part of its function is that it 
generates pixels in completely random order.

These are my opinions.  I do NOT speak for the POV-Team.
